A thermal spa town framed by towering dark blue trees, golden hills rolling to the horizon, and elegantly dressed visitors promenading along the grand pavilion. Roger Broders depicts the sophisticated leisure of 1920s France in this PLM railway poster for Charbonnières-les-Bains.

Designed in 1927 for the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée railway, this poster promoted the fashionable spa resort just 8 kilometres from Lyon. Broders employs his signature framing technique, using the verdant forest canopy to draw focus toward the central spa complex. The composition balances natural grandeur with civilised leisure, transforming the wild beauty of the Rhône countryside into elegant promenades and thermal treatments.

Broders created nearly 100 posters for PLM between 1922 and 1932, establishing the visual language of French tourism advertising. His work elevated regional destinations into aspirational experiences through bold Art Deco composition and restrained colour palettes. This archival print resonates with collectors of French railway art and anyone drawn to the romance of interwar European travel.
