Chatel-Guyon Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée

A stunning original vintage travel poster designed by F. Hugo d' Alési to promote as a travel destination. Châtel-Guyon is commune in the Puy-de-Dôme department in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in central France influenced by Belle Epoque architecture and has a reputation as a spa town for the rich and famous.

The poster is issued by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (PLM), a French railway company. Created between 1858 and 1862 from the amalgamation of the earlier Paris-Lyon and Lyon-Méditerranée companies, and subsequently incorporating a number of smaller railways, the PLM operated chiefly in the south-east of France, with a main line which connected Paris to the Côte d'Azur by way of Dijon, Lyon, and Marseille.

Mounted on linen and still in excellent condition after all these years.
