Toulouse Blay-Foldex Pocket Street Plan

Street plan of the Toulouse agglomeration at 1:15,000 with an enlargement showing the town centre in greater detail, plus in a separate booklet a diagram of the city’s public transport network (metro, tram, bus), street index, information on sights and hotels, etc. Both the main plan and the enlargement show location of the VélôToulouse bicycle rental stations.

This title is part of an extensive series of street plans of French towns from Blay-Foldex, the country’s largest, oldest and most experienced publisher of urban mapping.

Blay plans include outer suburbs and, where appropriate, adjoining localities forming part of the urban agglomeration and provide brief descriptions of the town’s main sights, contact details for hotels and other places of interest, etc. The plans show one way streets, car parks and pedestrian zones. Important public buildings are clearly marked and identified. Blay street maps are usually double-sided and include 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. Many titles also provide a road map of the environs. All the text is in French only.

COMPARING BLAY and IGN STREET PLANS:
BLAY plans 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.
