1. So far, I have spent only 2 weeks 'motoring' through France and the only negative thing I can say about this atlas is that some of the pages are torn from heavy use. It looks like the 2000 version is hardcover, which may help eliminate this problem. I wish Michelin would come up with a binding method that would allow me to remove and replace pages. Then it would be perfect. As for examples of how one uses this atlas .. Last September I was in France and for the first time I had torn up my tour books and brought only the relevant sections. After arriving in Chamonix, I realized this was not worth a 2 night stay (thanks, Rick Steves!), so I decided on a last minute detour to Burgundy. Forunately, I had this atlas and my Michelin Red Guide (with it's indespensible town and city maps and suggested sites). Sitting in my car, I planned my route for the next 2 days, which included stopovers in Tournus (a little difficult to find a room) and Beaune (no problem finding a room). Since I had no textual guidebooks for Burgundy with me, I bought a Green Guide in Tournus. With this guide and my trusty atlas, I easily planned a drive through the Burgundy countryside and visits to a chateau, abbey, wineries, and panoramic viewpoints. I drove into and out of Beaune and Dijon without any problem. Besides using the atlas for navigation, I also have used it to find spectacular and often unexpected viewpoints and scenery in locations as varied as the Corniche roads between Nice and Monaco, the Gorges of Verdun/Lac de Ste Croix, perched villages in the Luberon, very green farmland in the Indus River Valley, ruined/untouristed castles overlooking Colmar, a moving WWI battlesite and cemetary (Le Linge) in the Vosges. This atlas is for travellers who want their trips between destinations to be as unforgettable as the destinations themselves.



2. We took this along with us on our first trip to France and used it to drive from Paris to Provence. I cannot say how detailed this map is, even better than any map of the US I have ever seen. In one collection it shows everything from major highways to single lane dirt tracks last used by goat farmers.



3. Spent 1 week last summer touring around in central France with a car, my girlfriend as the navigator sitting right next to me reading this atlas. She could told me, by following the details on the atlas, when there should be a road junction on left or right hand side, or there going to be a round-about a head. Even on the smallest D road or a tiny village. Just one sentence in summary, this Michelin atlas is INCREDIBLE!
