One of the titles in IGN’s series Top100 - the best maps for exploring the French countryside by car, on a bike, or even on foot, used by millions of tourists and locals alike. The maps show more minor roads than other series and have a topographic base with contours enhanced by relief shading. Graphic relief is added in high mountainous areas, to give an even better presentation of the terrain. Different types of vegetation and land cultivation are indicated. Road network is presented in great detail, as expected of large scale mapping. All administrative boundaries are shown.

The maps show plenty of tourist information, such as places of interest, sport and recreational facilities, etc. For walkers, the maps have an overprint highlighting the long-distance footpaths, the GRs, making them an ideal supplement to the topo-guides. Each map covers an area of approximately 110 x 88 km / 62 x 55 miles. Latitude and longitude are shown in grads based on the Paris meridian. Map legend includes English.

Between Dieppe and the Seine estuary the white cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre, the Alabaster coast, are reminiscent of the other side of the Channel. To the west, past Le Havre and across the Pont de Normandie, lies Honfleur and the resorts of the "Norman Riviera". Inland, along the Seine, the map extends to Upper Normandy's regional capital, Rouen, one of France's oldest and most interesting cities. For hikers the map provides an overprint of the GR2 along the Seine, GR21 and GR223 along the coast, and several other paths.
