The French Michelin maps are world famous and these early examples are fantastic. All dating from the 1920s, you can imagine some bright young things jumping into their jalopy for a quick tour of the wonderfully French names of Chalon-sur-Saône, Saint-Etienne and Troyes!
They all feature the cheery Michelin Tyre Man or 'Bibendum' logo, who in those days was allowed to smoke a crafty cigar, can't imagine he'd be able to now!!
Inside they have wonderful colour details and you can imagine yourself driving around looking for the nearest estaminet!
Bon voyage !
