A door to summer. And one hidden dragon.

Look twice.

A cinematic teaser designed to build anticipation before ticket sales opened, turning the Thalys carriage itself into the doorway to the South of France.

01 / The challenge

Sell the feeling before selling the ticket.

The campaign needed to create desire before the booking moment, without collapsing into a conventional destination montage or price message.

02 / The idea

Make the train the portal.

Open the carriage door directly onto the colour, heat and promise of southern France. Then hide a tiny dragon in the scene, giving the deceptively simple image a reason to be noticed again.

The detail1 dragon

A small piece of visual mischief that turns a straightforward travel message into something people inspect rather than merely scroll past.
