World French - Published in 2012

National Geographic���s Classic map of the world in French provides a detailed geographic view of national and regional boundaries, depicting current political realities across all continents. Perfect as a personal reference map pinpointing your travels both past and future, this map can also be a tool for businesses to display global office, supplier and distribution locations.

This signature Classic style map uses a bright, easy to read color palette featuring blue oceans and stunning shaded relief that has been featured on National Geographic wall maps for over 75 years. Drawn in the Winkel Tripel projection, distortions of land masses around the poles are minimized: unlike many other World maps, Greenland is accurately shown as the same size as Argentina and not the size of all of South America.Thousands of place names are carefully placed on the map to maintain legibility even in the heavily populated areas of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Details include clearly defined international boundaries, cities, physical features, rivers, and ocean floor features. Corner inset maps feature vegetation and land use, population density, and the north and south polar regions.

National Geographics maps are the standard by which all other reference maps are measured. They are meticulously researched and adhere to National Geographics convention of making independent, apolitical decisions based on extensive research using multiple authoritative source.
