France Wall Map – Physical & Political – French – Extra Large

A French-language wall map of France carries a different feel from an English version, especially when it pulls together physical relief, political boundaries, and the cultural detail you would expect from a piece published in France. This one does all three.

Physical and political layers sit on the same sheet. An inset shows the overseas territories that make up the rest of the French Republic. Statistical information runs alongside the map, with flags and coats of arms for each region.

The points of interest are where this map earns its wall space:

• UNESCO World Heritage monuments
• Architectural and historical monuments
• Medieval abbeys, palaces, and castles
• Olympic games sites
• Horse racing and equestrian venues
• Festivals, fairs, and national holidays
• Birthplaces of prominent French figures
• Centers of national cuisine

Illustrations with short captions sit next to the locations they describe. The map won an award at the International Cartographic Conference in Paris.

French teachers, francophiles, history readers, and chefs who study French cuisine hang this in classrooms, libraries, restaurants, and home offices. Map Shop carries it in finishes that match each setting, from paper to laminated to mounted.
