Landranger equivalent maps for Normandy

[steveB]

Is there anything similar.  If so where can I get them?

If not, what's the nearest thing?

Really grateful for any suggestions.

I think the IGN series, at 1:100000, are ideal for cycling. I have bought several but have yet to take them to France.

Try Stanfords.

IGN are indeed the thing. They do a number of scales, including 1:25,000. Any local shop will have them.

As above. They do 1:25000 and 1:100000, but not 1:50000. Some of them are overlaid with irritating tourist info which can obscure map detail. Overall they are very good. IGN's website.

If you want contours and information like OS then the IGN are the way to go. For most bike rides I buy the Michelin yellow 300 series which cover a couple of departments. They don't have contours though, they are not a patch on Landranger but fine if you are just doing road cycling.

Thanks for the replies and links they're very useful. 

I think the 1:100,000 will be the thing.  My mate and I will only be meandering for eight days, with a max of around 50 miles per day (providing we can find accomodation).  I'll probably buy more maps than I need as I quite like collecting them - don't know why.

I usually use the 100s, only buying the 25s if there is somewhere I will be staying and want to explore in detail.
