Visitez La Cote D'Azur - Villemot

La Cote D'Azur - Villemot is a 1968 French railroad travel advertisement by Bernard Villemot (1909-1989) for SNCF. SNCF is also known as the Societe Nationale Des Chemins De Fer Francais, the National French Railway Company. This travel poster is promoting the care-free beaches of the French Riviera. The text reads, “Visit the French Riviera, by train or bus”. Villemot smartly plays with the tan lines of female figure, as he depicts the nude couple enjoying some time together by the pool.
