Pourquoi l’Hôtel Belvédère de Cerbère ressemble-t-il à un paquebot ?

L’architecte Léon Baille a imaginé un bâtiment inspiré des navires des années 1930. Sa forme triangulaire rappelle une poupe. Ses coursives arrondies, son toit-terrasse et ses escaliers évoquent aussi les cheminées d’un paquebot.

Pourquoi cet hôtel a-t-il été construit près de la gare de Cerbère ?

Les voyageurs devaient autrefois descendre du train entre la France et l’Espagne. Le changement d’écartement des voies imposait une longue attente. Construit entre 1928 et 1932, l’hôtel proposait donc chambres, restaurant, cinéma et distractions. Le ministère de la Culture recense aujourd’hui une partie du bâtiment au titre des monuments historiques.

D’où vient le nom « Belvédère du Rayon Vert » ?

Le rayon vert est une brève lueur émeraude parfois visible lorsque le soleil disparaît sur la mer. Ce phénomène optique a également inspiré un roman de Jules Verne. Le nom de l’hôtel rappelle ainsi sa vue ouverte sur la Méditerranée.

Quelle ambiance cette affiche de Cerbère apporte-t-elle dans une pièce ?

Les teintes ocre, la pierre claire et les lignes géométriques créent une atmosphère méditerranéenne. L’architecture Art déco ajoute une note graphique et rétro. Cette affiche convient ainsi à un salon, un bureau ou une chambre aux matières naturelles.

Quel format et quel cadre choisir pour cette affiche Art déco ?

Les formats A4 et A3 s’intègrent dans une galerie murale. Le 50 × 70 cm convient au-dessus d’une console ou d’un bureau. Les formats 70 × 100 cm et 100 × 140 cm mettent davantage en valeur l’architecture. Un cadre noir accentue ses lignes, tandis qu’un cadre en bois rappelle les nuances minérales.

L’affiche du Belvédère du Rayon Vert est-elle une création originale ?

Oui. L’affiche Cerbère Hôtel Belvédère est dessinée à la main par Marie Troff. Son tirage est limité à 200 exemplaires, chacun signé © Foliove. Elle est imprimée en France sur papier couché mat 170 g/m² et vendue sans cadre.

How I design each poster, by hand, in the Pyrénées-Orientales

Foliove is my daily work. I create each illustration by hand, from my studio nestled in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Wacom, stylus, patience. No digital shortcuts, no images found anywhere other than in my souvenir photos, no effects applied with a click. Each line is consciously drawn, starting from a blank screen.

Printing is done nearby, at an Imprim'Vert certified printer in Elne. This is no accident: I can check the colors in person, adjust if necessary, and discuss directly with the team. They prioritize solvent-free inks and certified paper. It's a relationship, not just an order.

My subjects are born from my travels. A shade of the sky, a detail of a facade, a season frozen in an instant. I transpose them into a drawing once I return, often much later. It's my way of preserving these moments and offering them to those, like you, who look at them.
