Que représente l’affiche Montpellier Peyrou ?

L’illustration montre le château d’eau du Peyrou sous un ciel lumineux. Ses colonnes corinthiennes se reflètent dans le bassin turquoise. Ensuite, un scooter rose anime le premier plan. La silhouette du pic Saint-Loup ferme la perspective.

Pourquoi le château d’eau du Peyrou est-il appelé « Temple des Eaux » ?

Ce monument marque l’arrivée de l’eau à Montpellier. Il termine le parcours de l’aqueduc Saint-Clément et recueillait l’eau destinée aux fontaines de la ville. Sa forme circulaire, ses colonnes et sa coupole rappellent ainsi un temple antique.

Quel lien existe-t-il entre le Peyrou et l’Arc de triomphe de Montpellier ?

L’Arc de triomphe constitue l’entrée monumentale de la promenade du Peyrou. Dans son prolongement se succèdent la statue de Louis XIV, le château d’eau et l’aqueduc. Cet axe forme l’un des ensembles classiques caractéristiques de Montpellier.

À quoi servait l’aqueduc des Arceaux ?

L’aqueduc Saint-Clément acheminait l’eau depuis des sources situées à environ 14 kilomètres de Montpellier. Sa construction dura douze ans. Inauguré en 1765, il rejoint le château d’eau du Peyrou, achevé trois ans plus tard. Archives de Montpellier

Pourquoi un scooter rose apparaît-il sur cette affiche du Peyrou ?

Le scooter apporte une touche contemporaine à l’architecture du XVIIIe siècle. Sa couleur contraste avec les gris minéraux, les verts et le bleu du bassin. Ce détail raconte aussi le Montpellier quotidien, vivant et étudiant, au-delà de son patrimoine monumental.

How I design each poster, by hand, in the Pyrénées-Orientales

Foliove is my daily work. I create each illustration by hand, from my studio nestled in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Wacom, stylus, patience. No digital shortcuts, no images found anywhere other than in my souvenir photos, no effects applied with a click. Each line is consciously drawn, starting from a blank screen.

Printing is done nearby, at an Imprim'Vert certified printer in Elne. This is no accident: I can check the colors in person, adjust if necessary, and discuss directly with the team. They prioritize solvent-free inks and certified paper. It's a relationship, not just an order.

My subjects are born from my travels. A shade of the sky, a detail of a facade, a season frozen in an instant. I transpose them into a drawing once I return, often much later. It's my way of preserving these moments and offering them to those, like you, who look at them.
