Michelin Map 10 of Paris?
I purchased a Green Guide to Paris and the book states that the guide is associated with the references which correspond to "Michelin map 10, a fold-out street map".
I can't find it on Amazon, or the Michelin site. Can anyone tell me where I might find it? Or should I just wait until I get to Paris and buy one in a French store. Thanks. |
just checking: it's not the map in the back of the book?

I found a website that seems to carry many many Michelin maps and there's no number 10
in fact, they all seem to have three digits http://www.languagequest.com/travele...ons/europe.php |
Thanks for searching Elaine but no, it is not referring to the map in the book. The numbered maps look like larger regular paper maps but I believe No. 10 must be similar to a Streetwise folding map.

I have a Number 10, the 5th edition from 1980. Scale 1cm:100m. It is a big fold out. No street index. I much prefer my Number 16, a small spiral bound atlas of the City. Scale about 1cm:110m on most pages. Includes a street index, metro/RER map, RATP (bus) map <i>Banlieue</i> (suburban) rail map, and detail map of <i>La Défense</i>. |
Hi Ronda,
That map is going to be very difficult to handle. Hopscotch has good advice. |
I agree. A big fold out map is not what I had in mind. I looked at the Michelin maps yesterday at a travel store and not at all what I want for a "walking around" map. Thanks for the info.

The Michelin #10 is the street map.
Michelin #12 is the street map index. They are not usually sold separately. I have them and find them invaluable. When I bought mine, it came when I ordered the #12. The title of #12 is Paris Plan et Index. (I am looking at mine as I type.) It 'taint cheap, but it is good. The #10 is really too big to use without a table, or a bed, to spread it on. Moreover, I find it too valuable to put it at risk by carrying it. My procedure has been to look up the places I want to visit and then make notes on one of the freebie maps that are usually available. I usually leave the #10 map and the #12 index in my room. If you want a copy, I suggest trying onemapplace.com I have found just about all my European maps there including a very good one of the Alps.
