 Essential May 25, 2009

We vacationed in a tiny village in southern France. I bought this as a back up to the GPS unit we were supposed to be renting from the car rental company. They ran out before we got there, and I was very worried that this was all we had. As it turns out, this book of maps was much more reliable than the GPS our friends rented or any other maps they had bought, and they asked us to leave it with them, since they were staying a few days beyond us.
This book has even the tiniest roads on it, and successfully navigated us through the entirety of southern France. From the Mediterranean coast to the Pyrenees mountains and every tiny town in between.
If you're doing any driving in France, this is absolutely essential, even if you have a GPS.
One caveat: it only has a few detailed street maps of more major cities, so if you're staying in a specific city, you will likely want to get a street map of that city too. We didn't find it necessary for our vacation--mostly a driving tour--and used this book alone.
Michelin's Best Deal October 6, 2009

I've visited France a number of times. Each visit I've motored around the country using a bunch of Michelin fold-up maps (and the Michelin Guide for city maps) to show me the way. However, driving around with huge maps unfolded in the car has always been less than ideal. This Atlas effectively contains ALL the country maps, plus some city maps, at the same level of detail as the fold-up maps AND it's much less cumbersome. Plus it only costs about as much as two of the fold-up maps -- and to cover the entire country would require at least 20 fold-up maps. This Atlas is a real bargain just considering the maps alone, but it also has an index that allows one to locate a particular city/town to a particular page -- something that's not possible using the big maps. This Atlas is a must if you're going to do much driving around France -- GPS notwithstanding.

Like all Michelin Guides, this one is very usuful to the foreign driver. Sometimes the GPS fails (it has already happened to me twice!), and, if you don't want to waste lots of your precious time trying to find the right way... always have a Michelin Guide close to you! It saves time, money and lots of stress.
FRANCE ROAD ATLAS in DETAIL May 31, 2010
BOBBO (WNC)
While I'm still 3 weeks away from actually driving in France, this book was more than excellent for planning my routes. It is so well laid out you would have thought the Swiss had done it rather than the French!! However, if you want something quick and easy, this probably is NOT the best offering. As France has many, many secondary and tertiary roads with signs directing you to Paris or "Other Directions" only, careful pre-planning is a necessity. The book was purchased used but was in EXCELLENT condition upon receipt.
I'll update my review in July if I have anything significant to add.
 Unnecessary November 7, 2009

The atlas rates 4 to 5 stars, but is useless, as the roads are so poorly marked in France. What good does a great map do you if the more rural roads are so poorly maked? We would still be at the train station had the car we rented not had a GPS. We would just punch in the hotel or tourist site we wanted to visit and the GPS took us straight there with no hitches. So you can buy this atlas as a "backup", but it is really not necessary with a good GPS.
