Vintage French travel poster for les Escalades, an urban area in the small European country of Andorra. Illustrated on the poster is a lazy summer scene, the European wealthy relaxing on a sunny hotel porch, a magnificent view of the Pyrenees mountains just behind them. The vivid yellow and reds on this poster are especially impressive.

(Orleans and midi railways. Les Escaldes (Pyrenees Orientales) at 1400 m. altitude. The sunniest region in Europe, a wonderfully sheltered site, the only high-altitude resort where heliotherapy and spa treatments can be practiced in all seasons.)
