De Paris au Maroc a Marseille : leaflet : PLM - CNP : 1934 : page 1
A French language leaflet announcing a reduction in journey times on travel between Paris, Tanger and Casablanca, in Morocco, via Marseille. Travellers used the trains of the P.L.M - the Chemins de fer Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée - and the vessels of the C.N.P. - the Compagnie de Navigation Paquet.
Leaving Paris on a Friday evening via the sleeper car services directly to the quay in Marseille the traveller transferred to the ferry - transbordement direct du train au paquebot - that departed on Saturday morning. With a journey time of just shy of 24 hours Tanger was reached at dawn on Monday and Casablanca in late afternoon.
This was, of course, to link France with the then French colony of Morocco that France had annexed in 1912 until independence was achieved in 1956.
