Photos of the properties
Original photos of Lumaïa, Le Marco and Le Castelli supplied by the owner (main photos from their listings, retrieved on 11/10/2026), only resized and compressed, with no retouching or generation.
Mascot and emblem
The mascot (a little stone tower with a navy scarf and a golden key) comes from the design approved by the owner; it is used as is, cut out and animated in CSS. Its original pupils were separated into layers (with the whites of the eyes restored underneath) so that its gaze follows the mouse. A variant holding a magnifying glass (key removed, magnifying glass drawn in the same style) is used in the Comfort section. The emblem (circled sun, ramparts, reflection on the water) comes from the owner’s logo, without its text.
Home page banner
The illustrated landscape of the Cité used as the background of the home page banner is an image supplied and approved by the owner (generated for the website), used without any embedded text or mascot; it does not come from Wikimedia Commons and is not covered by any third-party licence. It is only resized and converted (AVIF, WebP, JPEG).
Cité emblem
The golden frieze (Cité, cypress trees and reflections) placed under the text of the home page banner and in the “little guide” banner is a graphic emblem supplied by the owner, created from the approved reference. It is used as is (transparent PNG), only trimmed of its empty margins, resized and converted (AVIF, WebP, PNG).
