My name is Marie Troff and I created Foliove to highlight places that are dear to my heart. Foliove is a French poster brand: each visual starts with a sketch, then evolves into a finalized illustration. The poster then takes shape on art paper printed in France, in Occitania. The idea is simple: to offer posters of France, posters of French cities, and colorful travel posters that tell both a story of a place and an emotion.
A French poster brand born in the South of France
My studio is located in the Pyrénées-Orientales, between the sea, mountains, and vineyards. This is where Foliove began, initially with a few drawings of Collioure, Canigou, and the Mediterranean coast. Gradually, these sketches transformed into made-in-France travel posters designed to decorate walls and extend the memory of strolls.
French landscapes as a playground
The project is based on a clear idea: creation and manufacturing remain in France. The decorative posters are drawn in my studio, then printed by local partners in Occitania. The art papers are chosen for their feel, the fineness of their grain, and their excellent color rendition.
A brand rooted in its territory
This local presence facilitates exchanges. I can monitor every step, communicate with the printers, adapt print runs, and maintain a true coherence between the studio, production, and the shops that distribute Foliove in France.
A unique artist behind each poster
A stroke, a sensibility, a signature
Behind Foliove, there isn't an anonymous team, but a single illustrator. Each French city poster thus carries my pencil stroke and my way of simplifying landscapes. I often start with quick sketches, photos taken on the fly, or notes scribbled in a notebook.
The lines are laid out in black and white. Then, colors arrive to set the mood: soft morning light in Saint-Cyprien, colorful facades of Collioure, reflections on the Seine, or a more contrasting Atlantic horizon.
From sketch to travel poster
This unique perspective creates continuity in the collection. A Menton poster, a Collioure poster, or a Breton poster may not evoke the same scenery, yet they remain linked by the same graphic style. It then becomes possible to compose a wall of posters of France with very different places while maintaining visual unity.
Drawn and printed in France: the heart of the project
French printing houses and art papers
Once an illustration is ready, it goes to a French printing house located in Occitania. Foliove's partners use techniques adapted for decorative posters and travel posters. The colors remain stable, the solid areas are sharp, and the details are fine. The rendering remains clean, even after several years.
French production from creation to dispatch
This short circuit limits unnecessary travel and allows us to maintain control over production. Foliove posters do not travel the globe before reaching you. They are conceived, printed, and prepared in the same territory. This approach is also recognized by actors specializing in "made in France," as shown by Foliove's presence on Marques de France.
Posters of France and city posters: an illustrated tour of the territory
French city posters
The Foliove collection revolves around posters of France inspired by real places. Some creations highlight iconic cities like Paris or Collioure. Others depict discreet ports, Mediterranean beaches, perched villages, or mountain landscapes.
French landscapes on the wall
The French city posters recall a weekend, a train trip, or a summer stay. They evoke, for example, a stroll in Menton, a sunset over the Olympic Basin in Paris, a clear view of Canigou, or a wind-swept Breton quay.
On the wall, these posters function like an illustrated travel journal. They compose a kind of emotional map of the territory, where each poster marks a beloved place.
Why choose a made-in-France poster for your wall decoration?
Quality, traceability, and ethics
Choosing a made-in-France decorative poster means, first and foremost, knowing the origin of what you are putting in your home. Foliove manufactures and has its products manufactured in Occitania, in French workshops that master their production chain. The mention "fabriqué en France" (made in France) here corresponds to a concrete reality: drawing, printing, and order preparation are all done in the same territory.
Supporting a studio and an artist in France
In parallel, supporting a French poster brand means encouraging an entire local network. The purchase of a Foliove poster supports an independent illustrator, but also printers, paper suppliers, and shops that champion French creation. The whole forms a coherent ecosystem, rooted in its territory.
This approach is recognized by actors specializing in "made in France," as shown by the presence of Foliove on Marques de France.
Decoration ideas: composing a wall of French city posters
Combining posters by cities, regions, or colors
One of the pleasures associated with Foliove posters is creating a thematic framed wall. You can gather several posters of French cities, linked by a personal story. You can also mix Mediterranean, Atlantic, and mountains to create a more contrasting interior landscape.
Creating a French travel corner
The color palettes are designed for decoration. Warm tones easily find their place in a living room. Calmer shades are better suited for a bedroom or a reading nook. In an office, bolder colors bring energy and stimulate creativity.
To go further, you can add illustrated postcards or some Foliove textile accessories. The whole then creates a small travel corner, right at home, centered on made-in-France posters.
Giving a French poster: a gift that tells a story of a place
Gifts for travel and decor lovers
Foliove posters can also become very personal gifts. A French city poster can recall a meeting, an important stay, or a childhood place. It tells a shared story, rather than just a randomly chosen decorative object.
A gift personalized by the story it carries
To reinforce this dimension, you can add an illustrated card or a handwritten note. The poster then becomes a witness to a memory, printed in France, supporting a French poster brand and an independent studio. This type of gift easily finds its place in a living room, bedroom, or workspace, and continues to transport those who look at it daily.
