Alpine elegance at the golden age of railway tourism

Step into the 1930s with this superb original lithograph by Pierre Commarmond, one of the leading artists of French travel poster art. Created for the renowned P.L.M. railway company (Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée), this striking image showcases the mountain village of Combloux in Haute-Savoie, framed by the majestic Mont-Blanc in the background.

A grand hotel facing Europe's rooftop

Standing proudly on a sun-drenched hillside, the P.L.M. Hotel is a stunning example of early 20th-century alpine architecture. Acquired by the railway company in the 1920s, the hotel embodied a bold vision: bringing luxury tourism to the mountains by train.

In the foreground, tennis rackets, golf clubs and balls evoke an elegant lifestyle, blending sport, relaxation and nature – precisely what the interwar elite sought in a high-end alpine retreat.

An Art Deco masterpiece of graphic design

With its subtle color palette, clean lines, and perfectly balanced composition, this poster is a textbook example of the Art Deco aesthetic in travel advertising. Commarmond’s stylized landscapes are instantly recognizable, making this piece both visually stunning and historically significant.

A rare and collectible piece of French travel history

Printed by Lucien Serre & Cie. in Paris, this original vintage poster has been carefully linen-backed for optimal preservation. It is a rare surviving artifact of France’s golden age of rail tourism and a brilliant example of early 20th-century travel art.
