Philip's France, Belgium, Luxembourg road atlas - George Philip

A brand new, fully revised edition covering France, Belgium and Luxembourg at 4 miles to 1 inch (1 cm to 2.5 kin). The cartography is by Blay Foldex, one of France's leading cartographers, and has now been digitized throughout, adding much improved clarity to the exceptional detail of the mapping. The price has been held at 9.99 - much better value than either of the main competitors.This atlas is the best on the market for holiday and leisure travel. Motorway exits are named as well as numbered. Toll roads and dual carriageways are clearly marked. Scenic routes are highlighted in green and towns of tourist interest in yellow, making navigation and route-planning very straightforward. The level of road detail in urban areas is exceptional, allowing many cross-town routes to be made without reference to town plans. Corsica and and the many islands off the French coast are covered at the same scale as the main mapping.The detailed coverage of small villages and the comprehensive index makes this the best atlas for tracking down small villages and rural gites. It can also be used for evaluating places to stay: the maps show many key features for activity-based holidays:sandy beaches, swimming pools, sailing centres and golf courses; long distance paths and cycle routes; campsites, youth hostels and even mountain refuges.The atlas also features a two-page route-planner and a Key to Map Symbols in five languages. Finally there is a double page page map of Paris extending beyond the Peripherique ring road, and 35 town centre maps each with approach mapping which gives greater confidence to drivers entering urban road systems.Main map scale: 4 miles to 1 inch
