5.0 out of 5 stars A Great book to get lost with, 5 Feb 2003
This is the latest edition of the definitive atlas of France . For clarity and detail there is nothing to compare. If you know where you are going then a glimse of the back cover tells you which page you need. If you don't then the gazeteer will help you locate the remotest village.
I bought my first four years ago as a treat for my first brand new car. The commissioning trip was to be Grand Ballon, via the French national motor museum at Mulhouse.
The scale of the atlas (2km to 1cm or three miles to the inch) is large enough to avoid matrimonial strife on the move without having to wrestle with an object the size of a tablecloth in the passenger's seat.
We got back. We didn't get lost. Since then, the Michelin, (we don't call it an atlas or a map, It is one of a kind like a Hoover or a Biro) has attended at least twenty trips but better still, it has been pored over night after night in the quest for just the right little house in the country, soaking up our dream until it guided us to a tiny hamlet we now call Home. Routes drawn on it, numbers jotted down, circles showing the distance to the nearest towns; little crosses to show where we have been, it looks shabby now but it is far, far too precious to part with.
An honourable retirement awaits it as a record of times to look fondly back on.
You can find wonderful things to visit, with scenic routes clearly marked out.
You could save precious hours of your holiday.
You may even get back to the ferry on time.
At the price, you would be ill-advised not to buy it
That's why it is being replaced with the new edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Information overload, 16 Jul 2003
There's a wealth of information contained in this map: distances between locations, positions of tolls, size of town, whether the road lies next to a big drop-off and, if you look closely enough and get a little bit lucky, you might even be able to find road names/numbers.

That's the trouble, you see this map bombards you with so much information that the key detail you need to know can be incredibly difficult to find. Useful information such as road numbers appear in incredibly small writing; less useful information, such as distances between locations, is shown in far larger text.

This is a very comprehensive map, but quite an unfriendly road atlas. In comparison with British-made road atlases of France (AA, Collins etc), this is not much cop.
