The Ponant Islands consist of 15 islands along the French coast between the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. The word Ponant was used by the French Navy and comes from "couchant" (where the sun sets) in opposition to "levant" (used for the fleet of ships based in the Mediterranean). The SNSM Batz lifeboat is launched in the light at the end of the day. There's no time for helping out at sea! We must pay tribute to all the men and women who give up their time to protect and rescue other sailors.
The island of Batz is a discreet little island off the coast of Roscoff, which will enchant you with its fauna, flora, mild climate and tropical garden. A complete change of scenery just a few kilometres from the mainland. Hang the Ponant islands on your walls!

A few words about the author
Philip was born on the banks of the Loire river, and discovered La Trinité-sur-Mer when he was 4 years old. This is where his father gave him his first passion: sailing. The need of sea will not leave him anymore! At 9, he discovered his second passion: the photo thanks to his paternal grandmother who offered him his first camera. In the early 80's, Philip decided to live with his two passions: photographing to navigate and navigate to photographing. Named Painter of the French Navy in 1991, he testifies to the major events related to the sea world in order to preserve the memory of our contemporary maritimity, as had wished Richelieu creating the Corps of Painters of the Navy. Philip, as a sailor-photographer, has only one leitmotiv: to have every day a new desire of image to take and to share with you. For more information : www.plisson.com
