Grand Case

Cette photo a été prise a la sortie de l’ecole de Grande Case (deuxième pont), c’est une habitante de Grand Case faisant sa vaisselle dehors (au bord de la nationale). Elle représente pour moi un souvenir d’un mode de vie ancien (en toute simplicité…)face a une maternelle qui représente le future de l’ile(modernité, ordinateurs, vêtements a la mode…!).
C’est un vrai gage de souvenir et de tradition qu’elle offre aux enfants qui avec chance a chaques sorties d’ecole peuvent l’apercevoir dans ces activités extérieurs.

Grand Case

On the salt pond of Grand Case heritage is stacked in three layers: the birds have made this their home and fishing ground for thousands of years, the remains of a salt pan is the legacy of hundreds of years of salt production, and in the background we can just make out the beach bars and restaurants that have transformed the island in the last few decades.

Grand Case

Old and new, heritage comes in layers. Is it conflict or coexistence, vandalism or expression? It’s probably too simplistic to even ask the question in a way that implies only one answer is right. In Grand Case, old and new are side by side and stacked upon each other.

Grand Case

In Grand Case, the sun only sets over the water in the summer. It’s a time of year I love because the town gets so quiet. Hosting tourists from around the world makes Grand Case vibrant and interesting, but there’s also something special about the off-season when everyone gets the chance to take a deep breath and relax.
