    It's a matter of personal preference.  I find the Hallwag range easier to use than the Michelin ones, probably because I'm more used to them. Marco Polo market very detailed road maps too.

    It's good to hear that maps are still being used. I'd be lost without the Sat Nav in towns and cities (in more ways than one) but I find route planning is so much more enjoyable with a paper map.

    For France I prefer the IGN (like Ordnance Survey) series as I find them clearer than Michelin.

    AA do a good road atlases of France based on the IGN mapwork - they're 3 miles to inch, clear and cheap - often available from The Works.
