A complete deck of 52 playing cards featuring a design typical of the turn of the 20th century, with backs illustrated with checkered patterns and faces adorned with Parisian architectural scenes in sepia tones. Each Ace highlights iconic monuments (Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame, Palais, etc.), framing traditional French signs. The face cards are richly colored in a classical style, very close to French productions of the Belle Époque. The set as a whole has strong decorative and documentary appeal, at the crossroads of popular card games and vintage tourist souvenirs.
