Yellow Michelin Department Maps
The yellow local maps
by Michelin are the best maps to have to discover the departmental
roads, scenic routes and beautiful villages of rural France.
It's better to have two or three of these, if you're travelling
extensively in France, than to rely on a more general map of France.
I also update my copy of the
Michelin Road Atlas every few
years.
Some of the original regions reused the names of traditional
French provinces, although geographical borders may have differed from those of the provinces.
