{"product_id":"paris-journal-vintage-postcard-hardcover-journal-travel-notebook","title":"Paris Journal — Vintage Postcard Belle Époque","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere is a particular kind of Paris postcard that anyone who has ever browsed a bouquiniste stall along the Seine will recognise immediately. The colours are slightly too saturated — the sky a deep, confident blue, the stone of the monuments a warm honey gold, the Seine a ribbon of turquoise that no actual river has ever quite matched. The typography is bold and unhesitating: PARIS, in capital letters, as if the city required no further introduction. These are the postcards of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s — and they capture something true about Paris even in their exaggeration: the city really is that beautiful.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe front cover presents a vintage postcard collage with the Eiffel Tower as centrepiece — shown in a large historical photograph and a smaller central graphic — surrounded by Les Invalides with its golden dome, La Madeleine's imposing colonnade, the white domes of Sacré-Cœur rising from Montmartre, and the Louvre palace complex, layered with vintage typography spelling PARIS in bold Belle Époque print styles. The back cover continues the journey with Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe commanding attention, the modern Louvre Pyramid in striking contrast, the opulent Opéra Garnier in Beaux-Arts magnificence, Notre-Dame Cathedral in its medieval Gothic glory, and Montmartre — all layered in the saturated, confident style of the golden age of the Paris postcard.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 5.75 × 8 in (14.6 × 20.3 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 150 lined pages (75 sheets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforated pages — tear out cleanly without damaging the binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper weight: 90 gsm, suitable for fountain pens and pencils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover with matte finish, casewrap sewn binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 400 g (14.1 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParis travellers planning a visit and documenting their adventures in the City of Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrancophiles and vintage postcard collectors celebrating Parisian nostalgia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchitecture lovers drawn to monuments from medieval Gothic to Beaux-Arts to modern design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouvenir seekers and gift buyers looking for something beyond the typical Paris keepsake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravel journalers who love the vintage scrapbook aesthetic of 1960s–80s European tourism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone captivated by the romance, elegance, and timeless beauty of Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRead more: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/new-old-time\/paris-postcard-monuments-eiffel-tower-notre-dame-arc-triomphe-belle-epoque-travel-guide\"\u003eParis by Postcard: The Monuments That Made a City Legendary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LeBonJournal","offers":[{"title":"Journal","offer_id":63245492715889,"sku":"22679944710454833323","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/5367\/0769\/files\/paris-vintage-collage-journal-with-paris-map.png?v=1772312693","url":"https:\/\/lebonjournal.com\/products\/paris-journal-vintage-postcard-hardcover-journal-travel-notebook","provider":"LeBonJournal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
