1 - Instagram photo exhibition #monitinerairebis2023

From July to the end of October 2023, the Tourist Office launched a photo competition on Instagram under the hashtag #monitinerairebis2023

The competition encouraged residents and holidaymakers on Instagram to share photos that showcased the beauty and diversity of the region.

Our region is shaped by the people who live and work here, and this is reflected in the everyday scenes captured by the participants.
The aim of the competition was to reveal our tourist heritage from an original, lesser-known and distinctive angle, and to highlight the hidden treasures and many facets of our destination.

Let yourself be amazed by our hidden nuggets :

Pêcheries : discover their graphic and artistic beauty in a new light.
Marshes : admire the flamboyant evening colours or the morning mists enveloping the landscape.
Ocean storms : observe nature in its rawest form with spectacular scenery.

An itinerary bis is all this ! The route you wouldn't take, a landscape that reveals itself differently, an atmosphere that moves you differently...

A successful competition : 434 photos were shared on Instagram, showcasing the visual richness of Destination Pornic.
Of these, 28 were selected for a large-format exhibition along Pornic's Corniche de la Noëveillard.

Until 3 November 2024
