Paris Travel

This vintage poster artwork depicts a vibrant view of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Île de la Cité in Paris, rendered in a bold, modernist style typical of mid-20th-century French travel posters. The artist uses saturated colours – rich blues, greens, and golden yellows – to create a lively, almost dreamlike interpretation of the city. The composition highlights the riverbanks, arched bridges, and everyday Parisian life, with simplified human figures and stylised architectural forms giving it a dynamic, painterly feel.

The signature in the lower left corner appears to read 'Nathan', suggesting it may be the work of French illustrator Bernard Nathan, known for producing bright, expressive travel imagery during the 1950s–60s. Posters like this were often commissioned by French rail or tourism agencies to promote travel within France, making original examples collectible today for both art and Paris enthusiasts.
