THE BEACONS OF LOIRE

SUGGEST THE RIVER PRESENCE TO THE IMAGNINARY.

 

 

 

During 1997 autumn,
the Road Departement Managment of Maine and Loire,
asks me to reflect on N 23 road.

 

The maine idea was that this road, overtaked by A11

can now participate to the micro area development, edging Loire,

At the west of ANGERS.


 

 

 

 

 

 

MY PROJECT ANSWERS TO ESTABLISHMENT:

ALL ALONG THIS RESTILINEAR AND DULL RIDE,

THE RIVER IS HIDDEN BEHIND HEDGES OR SLOPES.



 

THIS ROAD REVEALES NOTHING ABOUT

THIS BEAUTIFUL MICRO AREA



 

THE BOREDOM IS A RISKS AGENT FOR THE DRIVERS,

I STAND UP FOR MAKING THE TRAVELLING ALONG A MYTHICAL RIVER.

"IN THE VINEYARD"
Between St George sur Loire and St Germain de Prés.

In a landscape where the omnipresence of vineyard let itself rarely guessed.

In Champtocé-sur-Loire.

A mythical evocation in a medieval site.

"THE FISCHER"
in view of the St Germain des Prés mill.

From the Loire side fischers emenate a calm nobility.

"THE GABARRE"
On the haughtiness of Ingrandes.

This old work sailing ships reappear on the river from a little time,

for the pleasure and the walking.
