Series details

£6.50

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.

This title is centered on three beautiful towns of Nancy, Metz and Luxembourg, all certainly worth more than just a fleeting visit, and includes most of the Lorraine Regional Park. Many military cemeteries remind one of the area's turbulent history this century, including the American memorial at Butte de Montsec, commemmorating their offensive between 12th and 16th September 1918. The Walibi-Schtroumpf adventure park offers attractions for young and old, and must certainly be worth visiting, if only for its name!For hikers, the map provides an overview of the GR 5 in southern Luxembourg and its first stretch in France to Luneville, just east of Nancy.
