The circa 1947 original travel poster by Paul Champseix for SNCF (French National Railway Company) promoting the Téléphérique d'Artouste and related automobile services departing from Lourdes and Laruns Eaux Bonnes offers a captivating glimpse into the leisure and transportation options available in the French Pyrenees. Champseix's poster, created in the immediate post-war period, reflects a burgeoning interest in tourism and outdoor recreation.

The poster's composition is characterized by vibrant colors and dynamic imagery, capturing the essence of adventure and exploration. A stylized depiction of the cable car in motion draws the viewer's eye, while the surrounding scenery evokes a sense of natural beauty and serenity. The inclusion of the SNCF logo underscores the convenience and accessibility of rail travel as a means of reaching the region. In addition to promoting the Téléphérique d'Artouste, the poster highlights the availability of automobile services departing from Lourdes and Laruns Eaux Bonnes, further enhancing the accessibility of the area for travelers seeking to explore its attractions.
