The map part of the map shows roads, trails, points of interest, including mills, roman sites, special fountains, capitelles, chateaux and on and on. The map is colored as a 3D relief, indicates altitudes and specifies the length of trail segments.
In addition to the map part, there's also an information block for each of the towns and villages in that area. Each has a description of a short day-hike (usually from one to 4 hours) as well as historical and visiting information for the village and the area. Information is also given for off-road cycling, horseback riding and other things specific to that area.
The complete map is printed on both sides. All information text is printed on one side in French and the other side in English.
We use these maps ourselves, and highly recommend them.
You can purchase them from the newspaper-magazine shops (papeteries) in the towns and villages of the Gard department.
