This elegant original travel poster, created around 1930 by Suz. Musson, was produced for the Chemins de fer de l’Est to promote the town of Remiremont, nestled in the foothills of the Vosges mountains in northeastern France.
Known as the “Gateway to the Vosges,” Remiremont has long drawn travelers for its blend of natural beauty, thermal springs, and rich heritage, including its renowned abbey and medieval traditions. Musson’s work aligns with the golden era of railway tourism, when posters like this invited urban dwellers to rediscover the rejuvenating pleasures of the French countryside.
The poster reflects the visual language of the interwar period: clear composition, subtle detail, and a serene atmosphere that speaks to the calm and restorative qualities of the Vosges region. It evokes a romantic image of travel in a time when train journeys represented both luxury and adventure.
Today, this rare piece is prized by collectors for its nostalgic charm and its role in celebrating regional France through artful promotion. It stands as a testament to how design and travel converged to shape early 20th-century tourism culture.
