This magnificent illustrated poster, published in July 1927 by the P.O.

Conceived as an illustrated tourist map, it offers an overview of the main rail links and coach tours departing from major regional cities such as Vichy, Le Puy, Valence, Carcassonne, or Millau. The poster is punctuated with superb picturesque views of iconic places, such as Rocamadour, Carcassonne, or Le Puy-en-Velay, created in a lively and colorful graphic style, characteristic of the interwar period. The use of bold colors, the stylized topographical details, and the illustrations framing the map testify to the rise of rail tourism in 1920s France.
