Programme
A garden in the Atlantic of the Azores, Micheline Pelletier Decaux
After working sporadically for seven years on Easter Island, Micheline Pelletier was interested in the Azores archipelago for four years. This string of nine Portuguese and therefore European islands is scattered over six hundred kilometers in the North Atlantic. One thousand five hundred kilometers from Portugal and two thousand five hundred from Newfoundland, isolated from all other inhabited lands, a source of mystery and stopovers that breathe new life into navigators and migratory birds. The Azores confetti on the North Atlantic Ocean, mirror of our civilization, is a strategic issue but also a major ecological issue. Over time, they have become the conservatory of plants from around the world brought back by navigators from Cape Horn or the Americas.
Only known to the general public, through weather reports, it is therefore time to discover these natural wonders and their unique traditions and to discover their beauty to better preserve it.
