Boats at La Flotte
Sailing boats moored in the harbour at La Flotte
Boats in the harbour of La Flotte
I've been visiting the Ile de Re for nearly 20 years now, and La Flotte is one of my favourite ports on this small island off the north-western coast of France. I sat on the edge of the harbour wall to sketch these two sailing boats moored just below an oyster merchant.

Available Prints
A4 Landscape - £29
Framed A4 - £80
Framed A4 prints are in a natural wood A3 frame
Prints are made with archival inks on one of two papers - either 350g Hahnemuhle German Etching paper, or 290g. Hahnemuhle Hemp, a beautifully heavy paper with rich colours. Made with 60% hemp fiber, this is an eco-friendly paper. Hemp is a highly sustainable resource, historically used for papermaking. Hahnemuhle use spring water for milling, and the production of hemp paper does not require bleaching or chloride, making the process less impactful. Postage and packing will be calculated on checkout.

Framing and mounts
An A4 print is best framed in an A3 frame - these images work best with a decent amount of white space surrounding them.
