"Vichy P.L.M. France" is a vintage travel poster created by the artist Hugo d'Alesi, designed to promote the French city of Vichy as a desirable destination for tourists traveling via the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (P.L.M.) Railway. Hugo d'Alesi, whose full name was Frédéric Hugo d'Alési (1849–1906), was a renowned graphic artist known for his detailed and picturesque travel posters that captured the allure of various locales, primarily in Europe, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The poster features vibrant and inviting imagery that showcases the attractions of Vichy, a city famous for its thermal spas and as a center of Belle Époque leisure. D'Alesi's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its use of bright, bold colors that were intended to catch the eye of potential travelers. The artist's signature style often included expansive landscapes or cityscapes with prominent text highlighting the destination, in this case, Vichy.

As a piece of commercial art, "Vichy P.L.M. France" not only served as an advertisement but also as a reflection of the era's fascination with travel and the growing accessibility of tourism through the expanding network of railways. The P.L.M. Railway, which operated from 1857 to 1938, was one of the most significant railway companies in France, connecting Paris to the Mediterranean coast and facilitating travel to the country's various spa towns and resorts, including Vichy.

The poster is an example of the important role that graphic design played in the tourism industry at the turn of the century, and it remains a collectible item for those interested in the history of travel, advertising, and art. Hugo d'Alesi's contributions to the field of travel posters have been recognized for their artistic merit and historical value, and his works continue to be celebrated in exhibitions and collections around the world.
