What does the Paris Canal Saint Martin poster depict?

The Parisian poster illustrates the Jane Birkin footbridge spanning the canal, beneath the autumn trees, with the water shimmering and the perspective drawing away toward the light. It's an iconic view of the 10th arrondissement, between the Quai de Valmy and the Quai de Jemmapes, rendered in a graphic, colourful style.

Where is the Canal Saint Martin in Paris?

The Canal Saint-Martin lies mainly in Paris’s 10th arrondissement. Stretching 2.8 miles, it connects the Bassin de la Villette to the Seine and runs through a neighbourhood known for its tree-lined quays, cast-iron footbridges and cafés. The canal celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2025.

What is the Jane Birkin footbridge shown on the poster?

The Jane Birkin footbridge is the oldest footbridge on the Canal Saint-Martin, built in 1860 under the name "passerelle des Douanes" (Customs footbridge). It was renamed in tribute to Jane Birkin by the Council of Paris, then inaugurated on 13 December 2025 by her daughters Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon. This pedestrian bridge links the Quai de Valmy to the Quai de Jemmapes, in the 10th arrondissement.

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.
