Just three hours from Paris and a world away from city life, this original French travel poster invites you to the Plage du Bois de Cise, a coastal gem nestled between the chalk cliffs of Normandy. Issued by the Chemins de Fer du Nord, this fabulous poster was deisgned to promote leisure travel; an idyllic scene of French tourism in full bloom.
Illustrated by René Leverd and printed by Affiches Simil-Aquarelle, this vibrant composition leads the eye from cliffside gardens and ornate seaside villas to an elegant beach resort teeming with well-dressed bathers and parasols. A romanticized inset highlights a train station and charming pavilion, reminding the viewer that this seaside escape is just a ride away, with “10 trains par jour” and special trains de plaisir offered every Sunday.
With bold typography, soft painterly colors, and a finely orchestrated sense of scale and movement, this piece captures the grandeur and escapism of early 20th-century French railway tourism. A rare and beautifully preserved artifact of the golden age of travel. * Please note this poster is backed on linen.
