France: IGN 200K-250K Regional Maps

IGN's regional series of France at 1:250,000 designed to provide convenient coverage of large areas on road maps highlighting for a wide range of places of interest, excellent presentation of the topography including contours and GPS compatibility, plus enlargements for environs of main cities (maps R1 to R19 only). A new feature in this series is an introduction of contour lines which, enhanced by relief shading with colouring and graphics to indicate wooded areas, marshes, salt marshes, dry or wet sand shoreline, etc, provide a very vivid picture of the topography. Detailed mapping of regional and minor local roads is combined with very clear presentation of motorways and main national routes, showing toll sections with locations of toll gates, services and rest areas, plus locations of fixed speed cameras. Junction numbers are clearly marked. The maps indicate access restrictions, not regularly maintained sections of minor local roads, etc. Intermediate driving distances are marked on main and regional routes. Sections in construction, both on main routes and local roads, are annotated with opening dates. The maps also show the country's railway network with stations and local stops, as well as departmental and regional administrative boundaries. Towns of particular tourist interest are highlighted and a wide range of symbols mark locations of various places of interest, including chateaux and castles, cathedrals and churches, viewpoints, interesting natural features, nature reserves, etc. National and regional parks are prominently marked. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 10' intervals. The index is next to the map and lists main towns in the region. Map legend includes English.
