Customer Reviews

Excellent for planning your invasion of Normandy.
I used this map to plan a short trip around the Seine Valley and I wasn't disappointed. All medieval churches, abbeys, ruins, chateaux (both open and closed to the public), national parks and scenic routes are clearly marked. The most useful feature, however, is that the name of any town or village of tourist interest is underlined in red. This led us to some charming locations which we'd have otherwise overlooked.

The only problem with this map is that it is too big to unfold. For our holiday a smaller map of Seine Maritime would have been adequate, and for driving a ring-bound road atlas would have been much more usable. Still, for planning, this was the best tool.

Normandy AA Essential
We are off to Normandy later in the year and I am looking forward to it even more now that we have gone through this book and looked at all that we may see and do.
We have made a list of all the sights we want to see!
The book is very well laid out particularly as Normandy covers a huge area - it is split into sub areas so that we have been able to tell easily what we'll be able to visit easily from where we're staying.

Excellent
Detailed map, first time visiting France and map was very easy to follow, would recommend. Good value and excellent service from Amazon. Thank you.
