We're headed to the Languedoc this fall and I'm glad I ordered this particular map. Many small roads and villages are listed. And it was very easy for us to map our route from Montpellier over to Caunes Minervois, the village we'll be staying in.
Also shows the roads/highways to go over the border into Spain and Andorra.

The Michelin maps are excellent. They are extremely detailed with a scale of 1 inch = 3.16 miles. With motorway exits and entrances for example, it's clearly marked in which directions they operate. It includes useful information like toll roads, petrol stations and even speed radar locations. I also like the insider information. Panoramic lookouts and scenic routes are all clearly indicated (the other regional maps that I considered didn't have this). However do be aware that unlike the broader regional Michelin maps, there are no indications of which towns and villages are of interest to tourists. (Although the Michelin Green series guidebooks list the map references for all places of interest).

This is essentially a regional map with only central Montpellier being shown in any detail.

One annoying thing is that the map is printed on both sides, so you're always flipping it over (which increases the risk of damaging or tearing it). It opens lengthways rather than widthways, which would be near-impossible to manoeuvre sitting in a car! Being double-sided also makes it less easy to navigate routes between the northern and southern parts of the region. Nevertheless, if you want to travel off the beaten track in this region, it's invaluable.

An excellent map very detailed, should be of great help for travelers in that part of France, which is my intention in the near future.

We used this map on our 2011 trip to Southwestern France. It provided us with enough detail to make appropriate driving decisions. Even the gas stations are marked on the non-autoroutes, which was a bonus for cross country driving. The only draw back is it's size, but it's easily folds to make usage more manageable.

This map has everything you need when driving around this part of France, every itty bitty road and where you can find gas stations. Just what I am looking for.

Product was fine, price no different really to W.H.Smith's in town but the delivery charge was ridiculous, quoted as from £3.95 but insisted on an equivalent overseas of something like £7.95 when all it involved was postage of a less than a couple of quid!
