Vintage Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer Travel Guide.

This authentic 1930 official tourist guide "Guide Officiel Illustré du Syndicat d'Initiative" captures the peak of pre-war French Riviera-style glamour on the Côte de Nacre (Mother-of-Pearl Coast). Featuring a striking, stylized Art Deco cover of a tennis player overlooking the sea, this document serves as a pristine time capsule of elite French leisure culture. Published at a time when the resort was advertised as being just "4 hours from Paris," this booklet contains invaluable vintage advertisements, maps, and photographs of a coastal lifestyle that was soon to be drastically altered by the events of World War II.
