Michelin Maps

Regular travellers to France would agree that Michelin maps are among the best motoring maps available. The 51-90 Series maps (smaller areas) and the 230-245 Series maps (larger coverage) are useful and popular.

If you want a comprehensive coverage of France, however, the best buy is the Michelin Tourist and Motoring Atlas of France. This contains the same maps in a single book (paperback, spiral-bound or hardback). It also includes an enlarged section of the Paris area, 50 town and city plans, an index and various other information. The spiral bound version, which is well-constructed, durable and folds out flat for ease of use whilst driving is recommended when driving in France on the basis of quality, accuracy and value for money.
