I had a map of Paris that I loved. I've been using it for planning and somehow it got lost. I would order / buy a new one - but I've been searching to no use. ( Yes - I know I can get other brands - I'm just hoping to replace this one )
it was tri-fold - usual size, gray, very easy to use and I believe laminated.
Has anyone used a map like this and can remember the brand ?
Thanks
I'm betting its a "Streetwise" map...tri-fold, laminated, overall seems gray in color, but actually uses multiple colors. Look on Amazon; Streetwise Paris map appears to be in stock. Love love these maps. Sadly just left my Venice Streetwise map on a bench on a vaporetto dock in June. Editing to add: This appears to be larger than tri-fold (on-line photos) although I'm sure my Venice one was tri-fold.
The absolute best map for Paris was the Rough Guides map. It was two sided, and was printed on TyVek material, which made it impervious to water or wine. It had the bus route numbers printed on the sides of the streets and in the margins had a legend which allowed a user to locate major sights and restaurants. It has evidently been discontinued, but if you find on in a bookstore, grab it. Pay for it then, too.
Streetwise? I have them for every city I have visited.
Thanks so much, None of these seem to be the one I had.... ( it had a drawing not a photo of the eiffel tower on top ) BUT ... I will be looking at replacing it with one of the suggested ones.
Except for the size (mine was more than a simple tri-fold), that sounds like a map I had of Italy back in the day--and a quick search through my map file tells me the brand I had was MapEasy. Could this be it? https://www.amazon.com/MapEasys-Guidemap-Paris-MapEasy/dp/1929038364/
As an aside, I am so glad to see StreetWise maps back in print! For awhile they were going for over $100 on Amazon because the company went bust. Looks like they have a new publisher now. They are my favorite, and I try to buy one for each city I visit.
YES ! that is the one ! Thanks so much.
Any of my laminated maps are Borch brand, but are for countries, not cities.
