Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (French Line) Vintage Menu Prints

The French Line — Belle Époque transatlantic luxury

Known to English-speaking passengers as ‘The French Line’, the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique was founded in 1855 in Le Havre. Its ships defined the Belle Époque interpretation of ocean travel — Parisian cuisine, sophisticated typography, and illustrated menus that often featured Art Nouveau motifs and landscape vignettes.
