Created in 1929 by Roger Broders (1883–1953) — one of the greatest and most distinctive poster artists of the French Art Deco travel poster tradition, renowned for his series of stunning PLM railway posters in the 1920s and 1930s — this magnificent poster depicted the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes) and the famous Pont d'Avignon (Pont Saint-Bénézet) bathed in the warm golden light of the Provençal sun, reflected in the waters of the Rhône. The deep navy blue border, the warm ochre and terracotta palette, and the bold Art Deco typography are quintessential Broders — a style that perfectly captured the glamour of inter-war French Mediterranean travel. The poster promoted PLM's automobile touring circuits around Avignon, reflecting the growing popularity of motoring holidays in the region.
