Vintage Mont-Saint-Michel poster – Train excursion from Paris
Treat yourself to a dive into the history of French tourism with this vintage Mont-Saint-Michel poster, a witness to the first major train excursions to the Normandy coast.
Published between 1890 and 1897 for the Chemins de fer de l’Ouest, this poster features the Mont-Saint-Michel in a refined monochrome style, enhanced by bright red lettering. It shows pilgrims and visitors crossing the sands at low tide, while the abbey proudly dominates the landscape. The promotional text at the bottom mentions a discounted ticket offer from Paris, valid for 6 days – proof of the rise of organized travel at that time.
A art print with heritage and graphic charm
This vintage Mont-Saint-Michel poster captures both the grandeur of the monument and the atmosphere of the early days of railway tourism. Its old-fashioned aesthetic, between engraving and lithography, makes it a unique work, both elegant and deeply historical. It will appeal as much to Mont enthusiasts as to lovers of Belle Époque graphic objects.
Perfect for a classic interior, a library, a retro travel agency, or wall decoration inspired by France's mythical places.
