Which Michelin Map for Eastern France and Western Switzerland
 
We are going to be driving from Strasbourg to Lake Geneva and then back to Lyon. Which Michelin map would be the best for these routes? Do I need to get separate Michelin maps for France and Switzerland or is there one that would encompass both areas?

My local bookstore does not have a broad selection of Michelin maps for me to look at and decide which works best.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can see a good selection of maps here:

The amount of detail you want will dictate how many maps you need.

Hi gl, I get almost all of my maps from
http://www.languagequest.com/traveler/index.php

Michelin Map 552 is a 1:200k map that stretches from Zurich to Geneva. It includes Delemont, Bern, Fribourg and Lausanne.

Michelin Map 315 is a 1:150k map that covers Alsace from North of Strasbourg to Basel. It shows the road from Basel to Delfort, but not very well.

Michelin 551 is a 1:200k map that covers Mulhouse to Fribourg.

To sum: Map 315 from Strasbourg to below Mulhouse, Map 551 from Mulhouse to Fribourg, Map 552 from Fribourg to Geneva.

The 315 Map is on sale for $2.95
