Our outdoor tourist signage projects

Polymobyl has been working alongside professionals, contractors and local authorities for many years. Over the years, we have supported numerous outdoor tourist signage projects, such as :

Val-de-Marne departmental tourism committee: Polymobyl designed, produced and installed 60 tourist signage supports throughout the department;
scenography of the banks of the Durance: interpretation panels on geology, fauna and flora along the future cycle route;
Geopark Beaujolais: made up of 24 exceptional sites, it required the creation of harmonized outdoor signage at each location;
the gorges du Tarn: this superb natural site needed R.I.S. signs – relais informations-services – providing practical information.

Focus on Burgundy canal signage

The aim of this large-scale project was to create interpretive signage along the 242 km of cycle route running alongside the canal. The panels were designed to be educational and informative, and to encourage visitors to discover the region’s other tourist attractions.

For this purpose, Polymobyl designed outdoor signage supports with a strong identity, featuring two faces and two seats. On the front, the contents cover the history of the Burgundy Canal and its special features. On the reverse, the sign informs tourists of points of interest within a 20 km radius.

Our proposal consisted of :

- - create an imaginary character, which visitors find from panel to panel and which provides them with information;
  - write all content;
  - design the necessary 64 visuals ;
  - manufacture and install the site’s 32 signage supports.
