Current edition of this title was published in September 2012.ABOUT THE FFRP (Fédération française de la randonnée pédestre) TOPOGUIDES: published in a handy A5 paperback format, the guides are the best companions for hiking along the GR routes, France’s extensive network of long-distance footpaths. Each topo-guide covers either a whole route or a part of a longer path (e.g. four titles for the GR 10 along the Pyrenees). The guides have COLOUR extracts from IGN`s 1:50, 000 or 1:25, 000 topographic survey mapping overprinted with the route, with important points cross-referenced to the accompanying text placed on the adjoining page. The text is in French, but a large amount of information is conveyed by symbols (different types of accommodation, food shops, public transport links, etc). An important feature of each guide is a summary table showing what facilities can be found at each stage of the route, supported by an extensive “info practiques” section with more specific information & contact details for recommended accommodation, tourist offices, etc. The guides are published on high quality paper & include descriptions of the most interesting aspects of the surrounding region: historical & cultural sites, local specialties, fauna & flora, etc, all illustrated with colour photos.
