This is a vintage French tourism booklet laying out twenty suggested itineraries through France, the kind of guide handed to travellers planning a motoring holiday. It runs to seventeen pages of routes, regional description and the practical detail a visitor would have needed, and it survives complete.
Booklets like this are bought by two very different people. Travel-ephemera collectors want them for the period graphics and the snapshot of how a country sold itself to visitors, and junk journal and collage makers want the maps, the typography and the illustrated panels as cutting stock. The paper quality and the printing are both better than anything produced for tourists today, which is most of the appeal.
Please look closely at the photographs for condition, including any edge wear, creasing, toning or foxing. This is an original printing and is sold as vintage paper, not a reproduction.
