I think this publication might have dropped away from IGN’s portfolio of maps. If it did, then it’s back on their list. If it didn’t, it’s quite a good map anyway.

Ordered. It’ll be interesting to compare it to the RDGA ‘stitched’ map you posted years ago.
Available on Amazon.co.uk
Great map, picked a copy of it in 2018.

@Udders will love it on his lecky peddy bike. As it shows how much power drain each stage takes out the battery and where to re-charge it.
If I am not mistaken, wife and I have picked it up FOC at a hotel we stayed at in Menton. I certainly do not recall paying for it. I am getting older though and memory is getting the better of me
for all I know I could be developed a sticky finger syndrome
Thieving Baltic States illegals, they’ll lift yer bike, yer map and yer job and yer women, given half a chance. This one came from Ukraine, exploiting the bloody EU’s freedom of movement and now bloody well lives here, using up our NHS which WE pay for. Can’t we get rid of him to Rwanda or, better still, lob him into another leaky rubber boat and send him back home, after all it’s how he must have got here. They all do, mate.

All very much correct, but on one count. It was actually in the back of a 20’ TEU, so I’ve been told

Even worse! Trafficking is a real crime.
Hey ho, what are they gonna do? Send me back? I've a settled status and all that.
Now, how did this end up in my possession? I am sure I did not pay good money for it, (I did however pay through the nose for the cabin on a branded boat though).
Must say, it is great! You Sir, would love one! As it is an ideal compact writing object, for jotting notes in ones black book, yet also great for tapping* about the iPad/iPhone screen, whilst sat in the cafe, perusing Maps and such like, without running a risk of marring the screen with one' condiment enriched sticky fingers.
* By means of flipping the pen end for end.
Just got it today.
It’s a good map . Nice and clear with lots of info

Another "must buy" map that I will never use
There are 12 publications on amazon with the same titles. And another one on ebay!

Oh, I’ll use mine. I wanted to see what variations there are.
Does this open with the whole of RDGA on one huge page, that's what I currently have with the other side having some more passes - covers prett much all of French Alps, with other recomended routes and a book written in French with more details I cannot read - but mine has long since been discontinued and is getting a bit scruffy.
Yes. But there are English translations on the map. Here is a small section of the map. La Clusaz (a great ski area). It gives details of average gradient. Location of ebike charging points etc. GPX downloads are available and also accommodation etc

Also bought. Quite fancy doing it in the car too.
Decathlon France sell the IGN maps and generally have a good stock. I spend 4 weeks in France each year, these days in Skoda Yeti with the Tentbox on top.
E mountain bike in the boot, I always have a good shufty at the local "Tourisme" maps for quite roads (they all seem to be in rural France) & routes.

Most of the French supermarkets, bookshops and even tobacconists will have a pretty decent selection of local IGN and Michelin maps, usually alongside pens, kids’ colouring books and postcards.
