Rotterdam - Un séjour à fleur d'eau #[nn]

A solitary cyclist makes their way along a quiet waterfront promenade, the distinctive Rotterdam skyline — cranes, modern towers, and the graceful arc of a cable-stayed bridge — sketched out in elegant linework against a calm blue sky. Emmanuel Lemaire's graphic travelogue captures the Dutch port city with an unhurried, intimate eye, its subtitle un séjour à fleur d'eau ("a stay at water's edge") perfectly evoking the mood of this 2016 Delcourt/Shampooing release. Fans of thoughtful, place-driven comics will find plenty to savor in this quiet, assured portrait of one of Europe's most architecturally fascinating cities.
