Alexis
Alexis lived in South Africa for five years. Five years filled with discoveries, encounters, and unforgettable landscapes. Upon returning to France, driven by nostalgia and a desire to maintain a tangible connection with this part of the world that had left such a mark on him, he set out in search of a map.
The findings were surprising: finding a map that was high-quality, beautiful, accurate, and easily accessible was not so simple.
So, an idea was born from this frustration.
Cartopolo was founded with a clear mission: to make these forgotten maps accessible once again, to bring cartography back to the heart of our walls and our stories, and to allow everyone to rediscover, explore, or dream of a territory that is close to their heart.
Because a map is not just an object. It is a memory, a projection, an invitation to travel.
