Regional Maps (Red Series)

2015 editions of IGN's annually updated regional series of France, indexed by place name and showing locations of fixed speed cameras, places of interest, etc. An indexed street plan of the central part of the region's main city is included in each title highlighting main traffic arteries and indicating one way streets and car parks.
The series is designed to provide convenient coverage of large areas on road maps with tourist information. Detailed mapping of regional and minor local roads is combined with very clear presentation of motorways and main national routes, showing toll sections with locations of toll gates, services and rest areas. Junction numbers are clearly marked.
The maps indicate access restrictions, unmaintained sections of minor local roads, etc. Sections in construction, both on main routes and local roads, are annotated with opening dates. The maps also show the country's railway network with stations and local stops, as well as departmental and regional administrative boundaries.
Towns of particular tourist interest are highlighted and a wide range of symbols mark locations of various places of interest, including chateaux and castles, cathedrals and churches, viewpoints, interesting natural features, nature reserves, etc. National and regional parks are prominently marked. Topography is shown by relief shading with coloring and graphics to indicate wooded areas, marshes, salt marshes, dry or wet sand shoreline, etc.
Each map includes an indexed street plan of central area in the region's main city.

Top 100 (Classic green Series)

TOP100 road maps of France from IGN; exceptionally detailed, contoured road maps, ideal for exploring the French countryside by car, by bike, or even on foot. Used by millions of locals and tourists alike, this series provides an excellent balance between coverage of a sufficiently wide area and detailed road presentation, plus topographic information not found on other road maps.
The series includes plenty of tourist information. For walkers the maps have an overprint highlighting long-distance footpaths, the GR routes, making them an ideal supplement to the FFR topo guides. A wide range of symbols mark various places of interest, sport and recreational facilities, mountain refuges, etc. The maps carry all the usual information found on topographic maps at this scale: peaks, glaciers, passes, names of mountain ranges and other geographical features, railways with stations, funiculars, ski and chair lifts, administrative boundaries, etc.

Topographic survey of France at 1:25,000 is published in two formats.

TOP 25 maps (map numbers ending in "T") cover areas of particular tourist interest. The maps have an overprint highlighting local footpaths, long-distance GR routes and, where appropriate, ski routes. Other tourist information includes campsites, equestrian or canoeing centres, huts, mountain refuges, etc. Map legend is in French and English. Each TOP 25 map covers an area of approximately 28 x 21 km / 17 x 13 miles.

Série Blue maps which cover the rest of France have no special overprint to show way marked hiking routes. Each Série Bleue map covers an area of approximately 20 x 14 km / 12 x 9 miles, with some maps slightly larger.

The Blue Series is evolving and the completely new maps will be published starting in September 2014.

Between 2014 and 2018, IGN renews its entire BLUE SERIES.

A new cartography carried out using IGN data bases:

• Optimum readability
• Improved geometric accuracy
• Enriched tourist information

A new map size: twice as large as before:

• The size of the new BLUE SERIES is equivalent to the TOP 25: the new maps cover a geographical area of 680 km², versus 340 km² in the old partition
• For most maps (84%), the area covered is the assembly of the former East and West map of the BLUE SERIES. For example: the new map 1920SB is the assembly of the old 1920E and 1920O. The Craenen code will not have the SB in the end.
• The other maps show a specific area to optimize the number of references in connection with the TOP 25 maps or in the border region
• The number of references is divided by 2: in 2018, the series will consist of 682 maps, compared to 1316 in the previous partition

A more attractive cover for your shelves
Important design work has been done on the cover to highlight all the advantages of the new BLUE SERIES:

• Clear display of the new area, so that customers can easily find the map they need
• HIKING and OUTDOOR ACTIVITY locations are highlighted
• The legend in 3 languages (French, English and German) is ideal for foreign tourists
• Free access to mobile internet services: a unique QRCODE provides access to various mobile Internet services through a smartphone (IOS, ANDROID and WINDOWS MOBILE). The user has the possibility to:
  • View the IGN map on his smartphone
  • Access the local weather on the mobile site of METEO FRANCE
  • Manage a map library to stay informed of new releases

The map of France is devided in 16 areas to make the overview map more clear.
