Road Maps?

[sillydoll]

I'm starting to do some research for a Camino road trip in 2014.

What are the best road maps for driving along the 4 Chemin St Jacques routes in France? I'm sure I have seen road map books but can't seem to find them.

Sill,

Since you know the routes you can trace them following roads in Michelin's Atlas France 2012 - - http://www.michelin-boutique.com/atlas-france-2012-atlas-routier-spirale-p-1532.html.

Another handy Michelin publication for the route from Puy is Carte Le chemin de Compostelle (France) - Carte ZOOM n°161---http://www.michelin-boutique.com/carte-chemin-compostelle-france-carte-zoom-n161-p-1699.html.

IGN offers LES CHEMINS VERS SAINT-JACQUES DE COMPOSTELLE
Carte touristique 922--http://www.chemins-compostelle.com/Leschemins/cartodroite.html

Happy planning,

Margaret

You'll want that IGN map, which is quite general. France is complicated so you'll need the 1:200,000 scale atlas. The link above are the right one, here it is an Amazon

For planning you do not need a map book, just use a web based mapping programme, such as http://www.viamichelin.co.uk/ This gives you road maps, or you can get it to do a route for you.
Michelin maps are hard to beat, and this web site provides the maps on line. You can zoom in to get much larger scale map detail than you get with paper maps.

Thank you so much for your helpful replies.

I have cut and pasted all the info and will get busy on the links this weekend.
