EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting Travelers to the Enchanting Shores of Marseille: A Historical Snapshot of French Coastal Tourism This evocative poster, hailing from the archives of PLM (Paris-Lyon-Mediterranée), transports us back in time to the golden age of French coastal tourism. The image captures the bustling Marseille station on the Côte d'Azur, where the allure of the Mediterranean Sea beckons travelers from afar. At the heart of the scene, a majestic steam train, emblazoned with the PLM logo, readies for departure. Its powerful engine belies the romance and adventure that awaits those embarking on a journey to the sun-soaked shores of Marseille. The train's smokestacks release plumes of steam, a testament to the era's engineering prowess and the sheer force required to traverse the rugged terrain. Beside the train, a charabanc – an open-topped bus popular for excursions during the early 20th century – is filled with passengers, their faces alight with excitement and anticipation. The group, dressed in the fashion of the time, gaze out at the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean, its cerulean waters stretching out to meet the horizon. This poster serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of travel and tourism in France. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people captured within the frame – their dreams, their memories, and the indelible mark that the Mediterranean left on their souls. As we marvel at this snapshot of history, we are reminded that the allure of the sea and the promise of new adventures remain as potent today as they were a century ago.
