Step into the golden light of Southern France with this rare original vintage poster, published by the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF) in the early 1970s. Signed by the artist Tal, this vibrant piece is a shining example of the post-war golden age of French railway posters, when bold artwork encouraged a new wave of domestic tourism.

Seen through the open shutters of a Provencal window, the composition captures an idyllic Mediterranean scene: rolling golden hills, cypress trees, perched villages, and a lively still life of tulips, a melon, and a ceramic jug. With rich, saturated colors and a painterly style reminiscent of Matisse or Raoul Dufy, the piece celebrates the timeless charm of Provence — warm, generous, and full of life.

Produced at a time when SNCF was investing heavily in visual storytelling, this poster is both a graphic gem and a cultural artifact. Today, it is a highly sought-after piece among collectors of vintage travel art and French design.
