Which Michelin Map is best ?

[gibberish]

I can recommend the service offered by Stamfords, they seem to carry the blue series and the smaller scale green maps as stock. Very quick and efficient service on their web site.

Just had a look at their website.  Very good indeed.  Wish I'd known about them before ordering from France.  Ah well, it made me feel clever att the time.

I bought two maps of Le Mans from Stanfords book shop in London.  The first produced by Institut Geographique National (red cover) does not go far enough north to show the motorways and cuts off half the circuit.  Before my second trip to Le Mans I found the Blay Foldex version (yellow and orange cover) which being two sided provides much better coverage and enables you to find your way from the motorways to the north and goes all the way down to Mulsanne.  Both have maps of the centre of town if you need one.  I think both cost less than £5 each.

Blay-Foldex (published by Kimmerly & Frey) for me too. Very detailed.
