FRANCE · HISTORICAL COLLECTION
Find the old regional blank maps and labelled maps from the original collection: regions, departments, relief and general maps. Their files, credits and URLs remain accessible. Historical maps are distinguished from current selections.
Map labels and downloadable files remain in their original language, often French.
Maps to use as historical documents
The regional boundaries are old. The overseas insets also reflect the author’s earlier selection: they do not represent the 18 current regions.
The original files and credits embedded in the images, including © Daniel Dalet, are preserved. The licence for the site’s recent creations does not apply to these older files.
