The autor
From book to book, Joël Supéry has been clearing the subject of Vikings in France and Europe for over twenty years. Attracting an audience of enthusiasts, he regularly publishes on the subject, and tries to dig up tracks that have so far remained unexplored: new historical sources, toponymy, local traditions that remain, architectural, naval or legal, or linguistic traces, not to mention modern archaeology that redistributes roles...
The Viking heritage, richer than expected, is gradually revealed under the pen of Joël Supéry. Gathered in his books, his discoveries do not leave indifferent. His passion for origins, combined with cartography and navigation, led him to explore the Scandinavian presence in France, far beyond Normandy.

Cartography
Cartography plays an essential role in the work of Joel Supéry. It makes it possible to visualize, in particular, the flows of Viking and Scandinavian routes, as well as invasion or trade routes. Modern science advances archaeological discoveries and toponymic locations which, once fixed on maps, open up new questions and offer new understandings. Joël Supéry creates and proposes maps that collect both past and present traces.
