The company is running a promotional campaign featuring a young woman wearing make-up in the colours of the French flag, accompanied by a welcome message from the 39,000 Air France staff – “proud to welcome the world to France”.

The special make-up used to create the young woman’s look is the work of Carole Lasnier, a famous French make-up artist who works with some of the biggest names in fashion. More than four hours of preparation were needed to bring to life this reworked version of the Tricolore, depicted like a flag billowing in the wind. The portrait was captured by the talented French photographer Olivier Rose, renowned for his attention to detail.

This image of a woman’s face is used by the company to symbolize France and Air France. In a nod to the allegories of Marianne and the French Republic, this young woman will welcome the world and visitors at every stage of their journey, with a message in French, English, as well as in their own language, with slogans translated into Chinese, Japanese, Brazilian, Spanish and Italian. Her image is intended as the first point of contact for visitors as soon as they arrive in the French capital, and to accompany them throughout the festivities.

This campaign will be visible from the moment they arrive at the airport, with giant displays in the passenger terminals at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly, in the airline’s lounges across France, and on billboard posters near the competition venues, in Paris and in the main cities hosting sporting events including Marseille, Lyon or Nantes. This summer, this visual will also adorn the main façade of Air France’s headquarters at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, with an advertising tarp covering more than 1,000 sq. m that will be visible from roads in the vicinity of the airport, passenger terminals and directly from taxiing aircraft on the ground.
