IGN Top 75 - Camargue / Alpilles

Camargue – Les Alpilles area of western Provence in a series of GPS compatible, contoured TOP 75 maps at 1:75,000 from the IGN, highlighting local and long-distance hiking paths, cycling routes and sites for other recreational activities. The map includes five large panels with IGN’s topographic mapping at 1:25,000 and extensive overprint for local hiking paths and tourist facilities including campsites, covering: two areas within the Camargue – Etang de Malagroy and Etang du Fangassier, two sections of Les Alpilles around Les Baux-de-Provence and Eygalières, plus the area between Le Caillars and Aigues-Mortes.

Cartography of the main map at 1:75,000 is a direct enlargement of the mapping used in the IGN’s TOP100 series. Contours are at 40m intervals, enhanced by relief shading; additional colouring shows different types of vegetation (woods, brushwood, vineyards/orchards). Boundaries of national parks and other protected areas are marked. An overprint highlights long-distance GR hiking routes and cycling trails. Symbols - more numerous than on the TOP100 maps - indicate various places of interest including mountain refuges and gîtes d’etape (campsites on the enlargements), areas for other recreational pursuits such as climbing, hand gliding or water and winter sports, historic or cultural sites, etc. The map has a UTM grid and an index of communes. Map legend includes English.

Coverage of the main map extends southwards from Beaucaire, Tarascon and St-Rémy-de-Provence, and west – east along the coast from Le Grau-du-Roi to Martigues and Sausset-les-Pins. Other locations include Arles, Salon-de-Provence, Maussane-les-Alpilles, Miramas, Istres, Ste-Maries-de-la-Mer, etc.
