Helsinki, Finland: A Symphony of Lights and Lappish Flavors<\/b><\/h2>\n
Get yourself a warm cup of <\/span>gl\u00f6gi<\/span><\/i>, or hot Finnish mulled wine, and browse Helsinki\u2019s lovely Christmas market. Situated in the heart of Senate Square. Illuminated by twinkling lights and overlooked by the spectacular neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral, the market feels torn from the pages of a fairy tale. Local artisans showcase their craftsmanship, a potpourri of traditional Finnish goods like hand-knit woolens, delicate ornaments, and glassware.<\/span><\/p>\n
Don\u2019t miss the traditional flavors on offer at Lappish food stalls. Where the aroma of smoked salmon, reindeer stew, and Karelian pastries wafts through the air. Families gather for <\/span>pikkujoulu<\/span><\/i> (or \u201clittle Christmas\u201d) parties, then come here to delight in the joyous sounds of Christmas carols and a visit from Santa Claus.<\/span><\/p>\n
Stockholm, Sweden: Old Town Charm and Swedish Elegance<\/b><\/h2>\n
Stockholm\u2019s Christmas market, held in the historic Gamla Stan (Old Town), will transport you back in time. Cobblestone streets are lined with red stalls adorned with flickering candles. Offering a selection of handcrafted Swedish ornaments, intricate wooden toys, and warming cups of <\/span>gl\u00f6gg<\/span><\/i>, the Swedish version of mulled wine. Be sure to also stop by the Marzipan Boat. This sweet ship docks in Stockholm every year to offer a buffet of handmade marzipan, chocolates, and other confections from a nearby family bakery.<\/span><\/p>\n
Unique to Stockholm is the traditional Lucia procession, in which a young girl dressed in a white gown and bearing a crown of candles leads a choir through the market, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. It\u2019s a tradition that dates to the year 304. When Saint Lucy of Syracuse was executed after suggesting that riches be distributed among the poor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gdansk, Poland: Maritime Magic and Polish Warmth<\/b><\/h2>\n
Voted one of the Best Christmas Markets of 2023, Gdansk\u2019s holiday celebration winds its way through cobbled streets and scenic squares. Maritime charm meets Polish hospitality in this former Hanseatic city. Market stalls are adorned with intricate amber jewelry, hand-painted ceramics, decorative lace, and countless other traditional Polish handicrafts. The city\u2019s historic architecture, including the iconic gabled houses, provides a picturesque and historic backdrop.<\/span><\/p>\n
Polish Christmas traditions come to life in Gdansk with the sharing of <\/span>op\u0142atek<\/span><\/i>, a thin Christmas wafer symbolizing forgiveness and unity. As you stroll its magical streets, you can savor hearty Polish dishes like <\/span>pierogi<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>oscypek<\/span><\/i> (smoked sheep cheese) while enjoying the melodies of Polish carolers.<\/span><\/p>\n
Riga, Latvia: Site of the First Christmas Tree<\/b><\/h2>\n
A festive tapestry of Latvian tradition, Riga\u2019s Christmas market unfolds in Dome Square, alongside Riga Cathedral in the stunning medieval Old Town. The UNESCO-listed architecture is draped in twinkling lights. The aroma of cinnamon and gingerbread cookies permeates the air. And local craftspeople showcase their skills.

Including gray peas with bacon and the delectable gingerbread cookies known as <\/span>pipark\u016bkas<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
Meanwhile in Christmas Tree Square, a stone embedded in the cobblestone marks the location of Europe\u2019s very first community Christmas tree. This legend traces its roots to 1510 when a guild of professional merchants erected a fir tree here, decorated it with paper flowers, and sang and danced around it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tallinn, Estonia: Medieval Romance and Estonian Delights<\/b><\/h2>\n
Like its counterparts throughout the Baltic, Tallinn\u2019s Christmas market exudes a fairy tale ambience pulled right from a storybook. The cobbled streets of the medieval Old Town are adorned with festive lights and Town Hall Square is filled with wooden stalls offering handmade Estonian crafts, woolen mittens, and fragrant gingerbread. Not to be outdone by Riga, Tallinn also claims to have hosted the first community Christmas tree. Residents will tell you that it has been set up in Town Hall Square since 1441. It\u2019s a tradition that is still followed today.<\/span><\/p>\n
You\u2019ll join the Estonians who gather here to enjoy the warmth of bonfires and taste traditional black pudding, sour cabbage, and gingerbread. Each year, families participate in the age-old custom of <\/span>k\u00fc\u00fcnlap\u00e4ev<\/span><\/i>, the Day of Candles, by lighting candles to symbolize hope and light in the darkest time of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rencontre avec une photographe dont les clich\u00e9s sont les t\u00e9moins d\u2019un monde fascinant.<\/h2>
Depuis 13 ans, Nathalie Michel est l\u2019une des signatures images de PONANT. Escales vous propose de faire un retour sur un parcours hors norme, qui met en lumi\u00e8re une fa\u00e7on unique de travailler, \u00e0 travers le monde. Curiosit\u00e9, respect des sujets et des animaux, amour du voyage et des tr\u00e9sors les plus recul\u00e9s de la plan\u00e8te guident Nathalie Michel dans sa fa\u00e7on de regarder le monde.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Comment avez-vous choisi la photographie de voyage ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Je suis tomb\u00e9e un peu par hasard sur ce m\u00e9tier qu\u2019est la photographie<\/strong>, et pour lequel j\u2019ai eu un v\u00e9ritable coup de foudre<\/strong>. Je m\u2019y suis retrouv\u00e9e dans la passion<\/strong>, l\u2019envie de partager, de t\u00e9moigner. L\u2019amour de la mer, l\u2019envie d\u2019embarquer, ont ensuite naturellement ax\u00e9 mon travail sur la photo de voyage<\/a>. Le monde maritime est tr\u00e8s fort selon les conditions que l\u2019on peut avoir de temp\u00eate<\/a>, de lumi\u00e8re, et m\u00eame si \u00e7a ne transpara\u00eet pas par la photo, d\u2019odeur. Ce sont des ambiances<\/strong> chaque jour renouvel\u00e9es.<\/p>
Et puis, pour moi c\u2019est important d\u2019apprendre tout le temps sur les peuples, la faune, la flore. Ce qui pourrait d\u00e9finir le mieux ce m\u00e9tier, c\u2019est la curiosit\u00e9<\/strong>, la passion<\/strong> et l\u2019envie de partager<\/strong>. J\u2019ai la chance de voyager sur tous les continents. Je peux communiquer sur les connaissances et la beaut\u00e9 du monde aupr\u00e8s des gens qui ne peuvent pas voir tout cela.<\/p>

Et qui, je pense, nous permet de r\u00e9aliser toutes ces envies de voyages<\/strong> et de d\u00e9couvertes<\/strong> non-stop. J\u2019ai toujours envie d\u2019aller plus loin. Ce qui est passionnant dans mon m\u00e9tier, c\u2019est de se dire que la plus belle photo, c\u2019est celle que l\u2019on fera demain.<\/p>
Aujourd\u2019hui, combien de photographes et de vid\u00e9astes \u00e9voluent au sein de la flotte Ponant ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> On a eu la chance de d\u00e9marrer sur Le Diamant<\/strong>, avec mon mari, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, qui est vid\u00e9aste. Nous \u00e9tions une petite \u00e9quipe. Puis, avec l\u2019av\u00e8nement des nouveaux navires<\/strong>, il a fallu recruter et former les gens. Nous recherchons des profils toujours aussi passionn\u00e9s, impliqu\u00e9s, avec une soif de d\u00e9couverte constante. Aujourd\u2019hui, nous avons dix photographes et vid\u00e9astes<\/strong> sur les navires. A l\u2019horizon 2021, on parle de 30 photographes<\/strong> et cam\u00e9raman embarqu\u00e9s.<\/p>
L\u2019objectif est de faire vivre le Studio Ponant<\/a>, cr\u00e9\u00e9 en 2016, et compos\u00e9 d\u2019une banque d\u2019images, d\u2019une phototh\u00e8que. Il a pour but de v\u00e9hiculer l\u2019image PONANT<\/strong> et d\u2019apporter une visibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 la compagnie partout dans le monde. Ces photos sont en effet utilis\u00e9es sur les r\u00e9seaux sociaux, dans nos brochures\u2026 Le Studio Ponant, c\u2019est l\u2019ADN images<\/strong> de Ponant tant au niveau photos que vid\u00e9os.<\/p>
Quelle est la vie et l\u2019emploi du temps d\u2019un photographe ou vid\u00e9aste \u00e0 bord ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> D\u00e8s le premier jour de la croisi\u00e8re, quand les passagers arrivent, nous sommes pr\u00e9sents. Nous sommes l\u00e0 pour tracer l\u2019histoire<\/strong> de leur croisi\u00e8re. Nous immortalisons l\u2019accueil avec le Commandant, la premi\u00e8re poign\u00e9e de main, le premier contact avec le navire. Puis, on continue par le d\u00e9roul\u00e9 classique : les consignes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, le premier cocktail du Commandant, avec les tenues de gala<\/a>, l\u2019esprit de la croisi\u00e8re \u00e0 la fran\u00e7aise<\/strong>, ses coutumes, son apparat.<\/p>
Et surtout, que l\u2019on soit en croisi\u00e8re d\u2019exp\u00e9dition ou pas, on va tr\u00e8s vite d\u00e9couvrir la destination. Nous immortalisons tous les temps forts<\/strong> : paysages, faune et flore, rencontres avec des peuples, d\u00e9couvertes de l\u2019artisanat local\u2026 Les passagers pourront les retrouver sur un DVD retra\u00e7ant l\u2019histoire compl\u00e8te de ce voyage, nourrie des interviews des conf\u00e9renciers, des naturalistes, des Commandants. Un tr\u00e8s beau Best Of photo<\/strong> reprend \u00e9galement l\u2019int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 de ces temps forts.<\/p>

Comment conciliez-vous votre travail de photographe avec celui des naturalistes ou m\u00eame la pr\u00e9sence des passagers ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Nous travaillons forc\u00e9ment avec les naturalistes<\/a> et les conf\u00e9renciers pour conna\u00eetre les noms de certains animaux, des histoires, des lieux, qui peuvent \u00eatre racont\u00e9s en images. Ils nous aident \u00e9norm\u00e9ment pour toutes nos l\u00e9gendes. Il y a un vrai travail d\u2019\u00e9quipe<\/strong> \u00e0 bord.<\/p>
Lors des croisi\u00e8res d\u2019exp\u00e9dition, nous participons aux briefings que le chef d\u2019exp\u00e9dition fait aux naturalistes avant chaque d\u00e9barquement. Les \u00e9quipes photos et vid\u00e9os partent avec le premier Zodiac mis \u00e0 l\u2019eau. Les naturalistes font un rep\u00e9rage de terrain<\/strong> pour assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des passagers, pour prot\u00e9ger les zones o\u00f9 sont les animaux. Les photographes et cam\u00e9raman les accompagnent. Nous prenons des clich\u00e9s dont ils se serviront lors des r\u00e9unions de fin de journ\u00e9e. Mais aussi, \u00e9videmment pour saisir des instants d\u2019exception<\/strong>, d\u2019un albatros sur son nid, d\u2019une colonie d\u2019otarie. On voit la m\u00eame chose que nos passagers, mais notre travail d\u2019image n\u00e9cessite notre pr\u00e9sence en avance sur le terrain.<\/p>
Quand vous prenez une photo, qu\u2019est-il essentiel de partager ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Quand on parle de photographe et vid\u00e9aste professionnel, le minimum que l\u2019on attend, c\u2019est la qualit\u00e9 des images<\/strong>. Pour moi, les plus belles photos ne seront pas les plus techniquement parfaites. L\u00e0 o\u00f9 le photographe de terrain est bon, c\u2019est quand il transmet une \u00e9motion<\/strong>, quand il capture quelque chose de sensible de l\u2019animal, qui peut nous amuser, nous secouer. Concernant, les paysages, il faut en trouver une essence particuli\u00e8re<\/a>, apporter un \u0153il artistique. Il faut savoir regarder et transmettre, partager, \u00e9mouvoir<\/strong>.<\/p>

Comment se passe la rencontre avec des populations au bout du monde, quand on a un appareil photo dans les mains ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel<\/strong> : Partout dans le monde, au Groenland<\/a> ou en Oc\u00e9anie, lors de la cr\u00e9ation des croisi\u00e8res<\/a>, les chefs d\u2019exp\u00e9dition entrent en contact avec des chefs coutumiers ou des repr\u00e9sentants des peuples visit\u00e9s. Ils leur indiquent le nombre de personnes qui d\u00e9barqueront, ils leur demandent ce qu\u2019on peut faire ou non pour respecter<\/strong> leur mode de vie. Nous sommes pr\u00e9sents lors de cette phase. Nous leur demandons quelles sont leurs limites afin de ne pas perturber leurs vies.<\/p>
En ce qui me concerne, j\u2019ai beaucoup de facilit\u00e9s \u00e0 entrer en contact avec des gens dont je ne parle pas la langue. Une chose est s\u00fbre, c\u2019est que jamais je n\u2019\u00e9tablis de premier contact en mettant mon objectif entre la personne et moi. Il faut prendre connaissance<\/strong> de l\u2019autre, prendre conscience<\/strong> de l\u2019autre, dans un \u00e9change. C\u2019est ensuite que vient l\u2019envie de faire la photo. L\u00e0, je demande une autorisation ; et je respecte si on me dit non. Parce qu\u2019un portrait r\u00e9ussi ne peut \u00eatre beau que si on a le consentement<\/strong> de l\u2019autre. M\u00eame si le regard n\u2019est pas direct, il y a des fous rires, des attitudes\u2026 J\u2019ai d\u2019ailleurs intitul\u00e9 une s\u00e9rie de photos \u00ab Quand Ponant regarde le monde, le monde lui sourit \u00bb, parce que nous avons un int\u00e9r\u00eat<\/strong>, un respect<\/strong>, et une envie de partage<\/strong> avec les gens. On ne vient pas dans le but de les exploiter, de commercialiser, et ils le sentent.<\/p>

Quel est le plus beau compliment que l\u2019on peut vous faire sur une photo ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Je n\u2019ai pas forc\u00e9ment envie qu\u2019on me dise \u00ab Oh, c\u2019est une belle photo<\/em> \u00bb ! Je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re qu\u2019on me dise : \u00ab Cette photo-l\u00e0 m\u2019a donn\u00e9 des frissons<\/strong><\/em> \u00bb. J\u2019aime v\u00e9hiculer des \u00e9motions, faire resurgir des souvenirs, \u00e0 travers un portrait, un paysage.<\/p>
Quel est votre plus beau souvenir de voyage ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> J\u2019en ai beaucoup, mais surtout, j\u2019ai fait des rencontres humaines<\/strong> qui m\u2019ont boulevers\u00e9e. L\u2019important, ce n\u2019est pas d\u2019avoir fait trois fois le tour du monde, c\u2019est d\u2019\u00eatre libre d\u2019aller partout dans le monde, de le faire et de mesurer cette chance<\/strong>. Je peux me dire : \u00ab Aujourd\u2019hui je suis au pied du Corcovado au Br\u00e9sil<\/a>, hier j\u2019\u00e9tais sur un glacier en Antarctique<\/a>, demain je suis au Kamchatka<\/strong> avec les orques, \u00e0 l\u2019extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 est de la Russie<\/em> \u00bb.<\/p>
Existe-t-il un lieu que vous n\u2019avez pas encore explor\u00e9 et qui vous fait r\u00eaver ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel : L\u2019Afrique<\/strong> est mon continent de c\u0153ur, qui m\u2019\u00e9meut vraiment. Apr\u00e8s, m\u00eame les pays que j\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 visit\u00e9s ont toujours quelque chose de nouveau \u00e0 offrir. Tout d\u00e9pend de l\u2019\u00e2ge auquel on y va, de la p\u00e9riode \u00e0 laquelle on y va, mais on y trouve toujours un int\u00e9r\u00eat. Petite, je demandais : \u00ab Qu\u2019est-ce qui se passe ailleurs ? \u00bb Cette envie est toujours pr\u00e9sente, in\u00e9puisable.<\/p>
Quels sont vos prochains projets ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Dans cet esprit de partage de mon travail, j\u2019ai co-\u00e9crit avec St\u00e9phane Niveau, le premier tome d\u2019une s\u00e9rie de livres photo voyage : Cap au Nord<\/em>, sur l\u2019Arctique. Je suis en train d\u2019\u00e9crire Cap au Sud<\/em>.<\/p>
