Street plan of Marseille, part of an extensive series covering French cities and towns from Blay-Foldex, the country’s largest, oldest and most experienced publisher of urban mapping. The plans include outer suburbs and, where appropriate, adjoining localities forming part of the urban agglomeration.

The plans show one way streets, car parks, pedestrian zones, and, as appropriate, metro and/or tram stops. Important public buildings are clearly marked and identified.

Plans of larger cities are usually double-sided and come with a separate booklet which has an enlargement for the town centre and a street index with separate lists of “edifices publics”: main public buildings, places of worship, schools, sport facilities, stations, etc. Each of the outer suburbs or the adjoining localities, identified with its postcode, has a separate index. The booklet also includes brief notes about the city and its places of interest, lists of main hotels with addresses and phone numbers, and lists of public transport lines.

In plans of smaller towns the enlargement and all this information is provided on the reverse of the main map. All the text is in French only.

COMPARING BLAY and IGN STREET PLANS:
- Blay plans usually have a better enlargement for the town centre, presenting the area in more clearly defined, traditional cartography. Most of the plans are on slightly smaller size sheets than the corresponding IGN maps.

- IGN plans better identify main routes leading into and/or across town centres.
