Problems of halieutic resources, place on the world geopolitical chessboard, environmental challenges, preservation of fauna and flora of rare diversity, these are the major contemporary questions being played out in all these territories still sporting, always, the flag tricolor. While maritime issues are increasingly fundamental for the future of civilisations, France is positioning itself as a balanced maritime power, carrying the ambition of a continuum between the people of the coast and the sea; of an ocean, common good of humanity.
French Sea Voyages
Is it the writer, the diplomat, the president of the National Maritime Museum, or the French ambassador in charge of the poles and maritime issues who publishes this book? “A bit of all that at once, but especially the little boy!“.
A fisherman cutting up a fish on his stall in Saint-Martin, a lionfish swimming from behind in New Caledonia, the Hermione during the international maritime festivals in Brest in 2016, the Marion Dufresne en route between the Kerguelen Islands and Amsterdam, a group of masked lunatics in Clipperton, the Baie de la Table in the Kerguelen Islands… Some examples of incredible shots that you can discover in this book published by Place des Victoires
