A native of France, Christophe Cardot grew up in a French countryside with fields of sunflowers and fresh raspberries as inspirations of color. Cardot arrived in Florida in 2003 to pursue his dream of a full time art career and tells his story with his works. After working with pastels and acrylics for years, Cardot now paints mostly with oil paints. Using only the six colors of light, which are seen in a rainbow, allows him to keep his colors in harmony with nature. Primarily self-taught, he has studied with several well-respected artists statewide and nationally. After becoming a professional artist, he won more than fifty awards during the first six years. He recently had an exhibition in New York City with the World Tour of Contemporary Landscape Artists. Cardot uses the Golden Ratio to create his compositions and the Impressionists palette. He has been invited to participate in Florida “Plein Air” paint-outs, and his paintings can be found in collections throughout the United States and Europe. Teaching painting classes and giving workshops are an enjoyment for him. He is a member of the International Plein Air Painters, World Tour of Contemporary Landscapes Artists and American Impressionists Society and has received a grant to take a workshop with a Master Pastelist.

The sun shines on 23 miles of coastline, a stretch of golden beaches with a wide range of sporting activities from bicycling to deep-sea fishing, the best that Florida has to offer. We’ll help you discover the hot spots, the best places to shop, eat and dance the night away in Daytona Beach as well as our neighboring communities of Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, New Smyrna Beach and Ponce Inlet. From flying a kite to building a sandcastle with the family, you’ll find our beaches are great places for playing in the sun or under the moon. It’s all part of the local landscape that we share with visitors. Whether you prefer leisurely strolls or more vigorous walks and action-packed days, you’ll soon feel at home with our tips for outdoor fun, local eating establishments and the best bargains. d2 daytona beach area We welcome one and all, and our wide range of visitors proves just why this friendly seacoast is among America’s favorites. In our seaside neighborhoods, there are kidfriendly mini parks with slides, swings and multilayered play structures to explore. Best of all, children of all ages like to cool off in the splash fountains designed to delight and refresh. If you are looking for adventure, consider a kayak or canoe to paddle the quiet coastal waterways among pines and palmettos. Experience the thrill of parasailing, rent a personal watercraft or cruise down the Intracoastal. There’s so much to do, from strolling the boardwalk to playing championship golf, that it will be hard to decide what to do first. At the end of the day, settle down with a tall iced beverage while you watch the last rays of a Florida sunset. Whatever your lifestyle, you can do it all here. www.SEE-DaytonaBeach.com d3 activities in the daytona beach area Discover our historic landmarks, climb Florida’s tallest lighthouse at Ponce Inlet, explore the ruins of an early sugar mill or visit the ballpark where Jackie Robinson played in the first integrated Major League spring training game in 1946. Beyond the beach are the lush fairways of our worldclass golf courses, one reason the area is rated one of the top golfing destinations in the world. Don’t forget, we’re the birthplace of speed and one of the few places that allows driving on the beach. O “Canaveral Seashore” Artist: Christophe Cardot Once you’ve spent some time in the sun and relaxed, chances are you’re ready for high spirited fun. For some, that’s grabbing a surf board for the best surfing on the Eastern Seaboard. But you can also rent a personal watercraft or learn to soar above the crowd on a parasail. If fishing is your game, the Atlantic Ocean, Indian River and the estuaries along the Intracoastal all provide excellent fishing challenges. Anglers can enjoy a full-day charter of deep-sea fishing or a short freshwater trip that the whole family will enjoy. d4 daytona beach area The Daytona International Speedway offers tours, and to satisfy your need for excitement, let loose and take the wheel at a go-kart park and experience the thrill of taking the turns at top speed. Not far inland you’ll find air boat rides, sparkling springs perfect for a refreshing dip and the charming town of Deland. Our wildlife preserves, safe havens for waterfowl and migrating birds, are places where only the splash of a canoe or kayak paddle breaks the stillness. And before you leave, try to fit in simple pleasures. Ride a bike along the dunes, attend a seasonal art show or heritage festival—our area’s full of unexpected fun.

All sea turtles are endangered, but Loggerheads are most commonly seen on our beaches. Hatchlings—only about 2 inches long—wait until the sand cools at night before scrambling to the water where they spend several years in floating beds of seaweed. Green turtles and huge Leatherbacks also nest on Florida shores. Turtles don’t reach maturity for 15 to 50 years. Scientists believe that only 1 in 1,000 to 10,000 babies will survive to adulthood. Don’t disturb a turtle that is crawling on the beach or laying eggs. Watch from a distance of at least 30 feet. Avoid shining lights on the beach at night as this may frighten nesting females and confuse the hatchlings’ ability to find the sea. For more information call Volusia County Environmental Management Division. For West Volusia 386-736-5927, for Daytona Beach 386-254-4612 and for New Smyrna Beach 386-423-3303. In the event of a turtle stranding or emergency at night and on weekends, call 1-888-404-3922. www.SEE-DaytonaBeach.com d11 shopping in the daytona beach area N No vacation is quite complete until you’ve been shopping.

Its ties to Spain and Europe are so rich and exciting that they nearly overshadow the area’s natural beauty. Besides exploring the Old City, follow our tips for enjoying the outlying areas, including world class golf, year-round fishing and fantastic surfing and water sports. The area has more than 100 parks for hiking, biking, canoeing and kayaking. Create family memories while watching the children build a sand castle, fish off a pier, or take a pontoon boat tour on a placid waterway. Romantics will be swept away by cozy bistros with inner courtyards, urbane wine bars and all the many facets of nightlife in this city. Ramble to your heart’s content, be entertained at a cozy piano bar, or dance to the music of the night. s4 st. augustine area To get the feel of the historic district, set out on foot or bicycle to explore the brick paved streets laid out in orderly fashion. The area is peppered with fascinating landmarks and an eclectic mix of architecture, from colonial dwellings with inner courtyards and Victorian houses painted in candy store colors, to community churches that have survived for generations. Prepare to be charmed by lively dramatic re-enactors who bring history to life and teach us new lessons of how our nation has survived. After all, St. Augustine was founded by Pedro Menendez de Aviles in 1565, 450 years ago — long before Plymouth Rock—and is the oldest continually occupied settlement in America. It’s the sight of Spanish conquistadors, American Indians and colonial citizens in authentic dress as they tell tales of their struggles that make this city the most fascinating in America.

Hang out at a local bait shop to soak up the local lore about “the big one that got away.” Along the Matanzas River, family operated fishing resorts offer complete setups, renting pontoon boats and skiffs as well as tackle, if you didn’t bring your rod. Locals are eager to give tips on inshore saltwater fishing near feeder creeks and oyster bars off the main channel where they catch black drum, tarpon and mangrove snapper. Deep-sea charters will take you trolling for wahoo, tuna and marlin, or hop on a party boat to fish for redfish, speckled trout and flounder. A “Kinship under sail from bow” Artist: Roger Bansemer After you’ve soaked up the Old City’s ambiance, you won’t have to venture far for surfing, parasailing, jet skiing, sailing or windsurfing on Anastasia Island or Ponte Vedra, or swim with the Dolphins at Marineland. Hiking up 219 steps to the top of the St. Augustine Lighthouse, the oldest navigational site in North America, is worth the view. After seeing the expanse of azure water that surrounds the area, you will understand why fishing is a year ‘round sport here. s6 st. augustine area Whether you’re in top form or just a weekend golfer, there’s a local golf course with gently rolling fairways for you to try.

More than 100 parks are the area’s treasures, retreats for nature lovers and reminders of how ancient Indian civilizations lived off the land for thousands of years. Spend a morning biking, hiking, canoeing or kayaking, and you’ll feel far removed from the rush of the city. Just for fun, how about wine tasting or end the day with a ghost tour —with 450 years of history, didn’t you expect some mysteries? SeeConcierge2015.qxp_Layout 1 9/3/15 12:39 PM Page 1 Navigate...
