The map Les vins du Midi (1947), produced by the Compagnie de Propagande et de Publicité, is a vibrant and informative representation of the principal wine-producing areas of southern France. Created in the immediate post-war period, the map reflects efforts to revive and promote regional industries, particularly viticulture, which played a central role in the economy of the French Midi.

The composition focuses on the broad arc of southern France, encompassing regions such as Languedoc, Roussillon, and parts of the lower Rhône valley. Vineyard areas are clearly delineated through color coding or patterned shading, enabling the viewer to distinguish between different zones of production. These distinctions often correspond to variations in soil, climate, and wine styles, highlighting the diversity of the Midi’s viticultural landscape.

Key cities, including Montpellier, Béziers, and Perpignan, are prominently marked, serving as commercial and administrative centers within the wine trade. Transportation networks—railways and major roads—are carefully integrated into the map, illustrating how wine moved efficiently from vineyards to domestic and international markets. Proximity to the Mediterranean coastline further underscores the export orientation of the region.

The map’s design balances functionality with promotional appeal. Bold typography, clear legends, and harmonious color schemes ensure readability, while decorative elements subtly reinforce the cultural identity of the region. The emphasis is less on topographic detail and more on economic geography, aligning with its purpose as a tool of publicity.
