The author's personal collection of coconut palm-related objects

CPRB

Be prepared for an extraordinary journey to the many lands of the coconut palm! You will discover a diversity that you could not even imagine. Currently, the nomenclature comprises 10 major themes and more than 150 sections (in English and in French). For each of these sections, it is possible to produce on request at least one large size HD poster (up to 180x100 cm in size). Some of these sections are so rich and diverse (for example the one on coconut scrapers) that it is possible to make three posters for a single section.
