1st Edition 1:600,000 on Waterproof paper. This is a brand new title for ITMB and an attempt to portray a changing travel landscape in a mapping format. Eco-tourism is a rapidly growing activity, with enormous potential. At the same time, governments are sekking to reduce carbon pollution by encouraging train travel, so ITMB is climbing abroard the movement by publishing a map encouraging train travel white still retaining the road network and noting all the long-distance bike routes in southern France by designated number.

This is, by its scale, a generalized map of that portion of France south of Poitiers or Lyon to the Mediterranean, so is more of a regional map showing biking opportunities than a detailed trail map. Nevertheless, it is an excellent map on waterproof paper showing cycling routes and tertiary roads that are suitable for recreational exploration. Naturally, motorways and main highways are shown as well.
