EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled along the picturesque coastline of northern France lies the quaint fishing village of Le Portel, specifically at the intersection of Rue Carnot and Place d'Eglise. This idyllic corner of France, captured in this photograph from 1906, transports us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and tranquility. The cobblestone street, Rue Carnot, named after the esteemed French physicist and military engineer Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot (1796-1832), is a testament to the village's rich history. Carnot is renowned for his groundbreaking work on heat engines, which laid the foundations for the second law of thermodynamics. As we follow the curve of the road, we come across the charming Place d'Eglise, a quaint square adorned with a beautiful church, which adds to the village's rustic charm. The square is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike, where the sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafts from the corner café, inviting passersby to take a moment to relax and soak in the serene atmosphere. Le Portel, with its quaint streets and picturesque harbor, offers a glimpse into the past, where the gentle hum of daily life continues to resonate. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and charm of France's coastal villages, where time seems to stand still.
