• Authentic 1953 Vintage Poster: This original travel poster was issued by the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF) and captures the essence of mid-century French tourism and railway travel.
• Charming Illustrated Map: This beautifully detailed map of France highlights iconic landmarks, regions, and cultures, depicted in vibrant colors and charming illustrations—a true celebration of French heritage.
A poster featuring a pictorial map of France that did not include any railway lines! Its purpose was clearly not to plan routes but to encourage travel.

The map highlights various regions of France and showcases what visitors can find or expect to see as they explore each city, town, or district.
