Imagine Isère – The project
An ambitious project is being prepared in the shadow of Isère 1885 : the construction of a tall ship, unique in the world. Returning to the original functions of the mythical frigate which transported the Statue of Liberty, it will not be a replica but a ship turned towards the future…
If the construction of a new Isère is an ambitious undertaking, it is even more so by the message and the values it wishes to promote.
In our current society, this initiative appears like a new breath, a bubble of oxygen, aimed at bringing more brotherhood and benevolence back to our planet.
Many do not know: The construction of the Statue of Liberty happened without the help of any government, but with the financial contribution of thousands of French and American citizens.
Along the same lines, the Isère’s rebirth is not a private initiative, but a project with collective and international dimensions.
The Isère will create the event during its stopovers in ports around the world.
Thematic crossings, exhibitions, Gala dinners, conferences, concerts, … By forging links between people and cultures, the Isère will be enriched by its encounters around the world and will share with its passengers an unforgettable journey …
A First Artistic Renaissance
While the real Isère will roll off the assembly lines in the coming years, its fantastical version already exists in full force.
Giving pride of place to the dream, this artistic interpretation is an invitation to embark on an imaginary journey aboard an extraordinary aircraft. It is a theme that Didier Graffet delights in exploring through numerous paintings and sketches.
It is therefore to this talented illustrator that Isère 1885 turned, entrusting him with this first artistic rebirth.
