File-size: 5642 x 8000 Pixel. 

Step into the charm of Belle Époque France with this elegant digital reproduction of Martigny, Vosges, a 1909 railway travel poster by celebrated French illustrator Lucien Métivet. Commissioned by the Chemins de fer d'Orléans et de l'Est (Orléans and Eastern Railways), this richly illustrated poster captures the refined leisure of a summer getaway to the spa town of Martigny in the Vosges Mountains.

With its soft pastels, flowing dresses, and leisurely figures under parasols, the scene evokes an era of elegance, culture, and outdoor enjoyment. In the background, other visitors enjoy the gardens, theatre, and open air—all highlighting Martigny's appeal as a destination offering casino entertainment, concerts, automobiles, and golf links.

Although originally an advertisement for a train journey, this artwork shares much of the same spirit and visual beauty as classic Art Nouveau travel posters. Perfect for lovers of vintage French design, railway history, or early 20th-century illustration, this high-resolution digital file is ideal for printing and display.
