impressive chapeau on the lac d'Enghien


Almost a hat you could wear to a royal wedding.  A poster for the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, and then the Nord in France.

Nowadays you can get from Paris to the well-to-do suburb of Enghien-les-Bains on the Transilien H line, 13.5 km from the centre of Paris.  At the time of the poster a means of getting there was on the tramway between the Église de la Trinité in Paris and the Gare d'Enghien, via Épinay-sur-Seine, Saint-Denis, and Carrefour Pleyel, which sounds more fun, if rather longer.
