About the Item
This luminous 1956 photographic travel poster by Yvon captures the timeless elegance of Biarritz, the “Queen of Beaches” on France’s Basque coast. In the foreground, wild hydrangeas bloom above the Atlantic surf, while a solitary figure gazes towards the sweeping bay, evoking a sense of serenity and grandeur.
At the heart of the view stands the famous Rocher de la Vierge, framed by the Belle Époque architecture of Biarritz’s seafront hotels and casinos. Since its rise as an imperial resort under Napoleon III, Biarritz has epitomised cosmopolitan glamour, surfing culture, and the raw beauty of the Basque shoreline.
Yvon’s poster exemplifies mid-century French photographic tourism promotion, combining rich colour realism with balanced composition to celebrate regional identity. Published by the French National Tourist Office, it was aimed at both domestic holidaymakers and international visitors eager to discover the Atlantic coast’s bracing sea air, refined leisure, and dramatic coastal vistas.
Today, this image resonates as a nostalgic tribute to post-war optimism, evoking summers spent overlooking the ocean, and remains an emblematic collectible for lovers of French photographic poster art and Basque heritage.
