Can anyone tell me of a website where I can download town maps in France? Last year we were given very bad text directions to our hotels and took ages to find them. If we had a town map it would have been a lot easier.

Buzzy, <BR>Don't know about a website, but the Lonely Planet books have great town maps. You could always photocopy those pages and leave the book at home if you don't want to carry it. <BR>Kay

In my opinion, www.mappy.com is the current leader in giving you a zoomable, printable map of almost any town you want with excellent clean appearance and yet remarkable detail. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

Why don't you just drop a letter to the tourist offices of the towns you're interested in and ask them for one. You can also get hotels, restaurant information. Write to: <BR>Office de Tourisme <BR>Name of Town <BR>France <BR>E-mail me for more information- [email protected]

Here's a website: <BR> <BR>http://www.multimap.com/index/ <BR> <BR>1. Choose France <BR>2. Then, choose regional France <BR>3. Then, you can access the various city maps. <BR> <BR>This appears to be a good one, folks, and has many countries in its listing. <BR>How accurate? Can't say for sure. I'll let others access their own city map and post reviews. <BR>

Fodors <BR> <BR>Multimap has a great range of regional maps, including such rarities as the provinces of Bangladesh, but I found no French town maps nor street maps, so they may be no use for reaching hotels. <BR> <BR>Ben Haines <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>
