Favorite mapping site for France?
 
We'll be driving from Paris, through Normandy and then down to the Loire Valley before returning the rental car to CDG. We will not have a GPS but I have purchased Michelin maps. I also want to map and print off some routes from a mapping site. Which do you prefer? Google, ViaMichelin, Mappy?

I usually used ViaMichelin but also used Mappy. If you use ViaMichelin, I recommend also clicking on the "Tourism" option so you can check if there's any other sites you'd like to visit along your drive.

Have a great time.

I have found that the revamped viamichelin site works much faster for me than does the mappy site which take a good amount of time to load and churn request information.

Also if you use viamichelin.fr and mappy.fr (rather than the .com versions) the default country is always France which can save a step when requesting information. The site is in French of course but it is easy to understand.
