Le Balcon du Rhum – An interview with Marie Détrée, official painter to the Navy

31 Oct

Palais des Arts et du Festival, 2 Boulevard Wilson, 35800 Dinard

To mark the Route du Rhum, the Town of Dinard is organising talks, conferences, exhibitions and a live broadcast of the start. SATURDAY 31 OCTOBER at 11.00 am: A talk with Marie Détrée, the Navy’s official painter Born in Saint-Malo into a family of sailors, Marie Détrée is a graduate of the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris. Appointed Official Painter to the Navy in 2010, she is part of a rare French tradition which, since 1830, has linked art, ships, crews and maritime heritage. This title has granted her access to the French Navy’s vessels and taken her to all the seas of the globe: from the China Sea to the Southern Ocean, from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, right to the poles and the depths of submarines. Drawing on her travels, she has turned her hand to writing and illustration: in 2010, she published *La Grande Ménagerie du bord*, followed by numerous other books. She will be presenting her latest book, *Le Marin tatoué*. Free admission.
