Villemot designed posters for Air France interspersedly from 1946 through the 1970s; he was hired specifically for his "poetic, symbolic imagination [that translated] into suggestive forms and colors whatever inspiration he could draw from words as general as India, North Africa, Paris, etc." (Bon Salle, p. 115). For North Africa, he presents us with a bird's-eye view of the typical white walls, stucco roofs, and domes one might find in Morocco. This is the French language version.
