When I was younger, I always brought my Tintin comics to the beaches of the Côte d’Azur. I would stretch out on the warm sand, the sound of the waves crashing nearby, and get lost in Tintin’s adventures while soaking up the Mediterranean sun. Those moments, with a comic in one hand and an ice-cold lemonade in the other, made my summers truly magical. Tintin’s escapades became intertwined with my own seaside memories, creating a special bond that I cherish to this day.
