Normandy, between coast and heritage

The cliffs of Étretat already have their place in the seaside guide. The Normandy posters collection goes further, with subjects that are often more urban and more Art Deco: the beach cabins of the Côte Fleurie, Normandy’s ports and an inland city, Rouen.

Deauville and Cabourg, beach cabins of the Roaring Twenties

Deauville and Cabourg share this setting of striped beach cabins and colorful parasols, in a 1930s style typical of the Côte Fleurie. These posters bring a cheerful touch to a bedroom or an entryway.

Honfleur and Le Havre, ports and Norman architecture

Honfleur and its sailboats, Le Havre and its church rebuilt in Art Deco style after the war: these 2 Normandy ports offer a more architectural face of the region, with façades and quays rather than simple beach landscapes.

Cherbourg and Granville, seagulls and lighthouse

Farther west, Cherbourg with its seagull perched on the railing facing the clock tower of the ferry terminal, and Granville with its white lighthouse and red lantern set on the rocks, round out the collection with a more maritime mood, ideal for a hallway or a nautical gallery wall.

Rouen, the only city without a sea in the collection

Rouen and its cathedral break away from the coastline: it is the only poster in the collection to feature a Normandy city far from the coast, useful for varying subjects on the same wall without leaving the region.

Designing a Normandy wall

These posters pair easily with each other when you keep a consistent size (A3 or A2), mixing 1 or 2 beach scenes with a port or the Rouen cathedral, to avoid repeating the same mood twice.

Le Havre, also Art Deco beach cabins

Another Le Havre poster shows colorful beach cabins at the foot of a tall arch of red, blue and yellow containers, with a couple strolling along the water’s edge: a seaside face of the city, different from the church and quays already presented.

Cabourg, the elegance of the Roaring Twenties

Another Cabourg poster, in landscape format, lines up a long row of red and white striped cabins on the sand, with the façade of the Grand Hôtel in the background and a couple strolling along the water’s edge: the Belle Époque of the Côte Fleurie, more graphic than the Marcel-Proust promenade and its tall lamppost.

Deauville, another take, more graphic

Another Deauville poster, in landscape format, adopts a cleaner style: a single orange and white striped parasol planted at the edge of the Planches, with the cabins lined up on the right, set against flat areas of blue and sand. A more minimalist look than the beach cabins already presented, useful for varying styles on the same wall without losing the consistency of the palette. Deauville poster with parasols and boardwalk
