Maps on France This Way

Maps are widely used used on the francethisway site:

1) To explore France and to be sure there are things that will interest you where you are going by identifying other places that are close by on the map. Options include:

• - a detailed map of France that shows many hundreds of places in France individually - impressive, but the map may be slow loading!
• - every 'place' page on the site has a location map in the right sidebar, giving access to a map showing places of interest within 60 kilometres - these maps are the easiest way to plan a visit
  - every 'region' page has a summary map of highlights, and a link to an additional map showing much more detailed information for the region

2) To find a gite or holiday rental use the map that shows gites and holiday rentals in France at Gites in France
