One side displays the Alps region in detail (No. 9), the other covers L'Ouest du Bassin Parisien -- the western Paris Basin (No. 10). Rossignol was the leading publisher of French educational wall maps, and this French school map poster Alps series was standard issue in French primary and secondary schools for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth maps are printed in full color on heavy paper stock. The Alps side uses a layered relief color scheme -- pale yellow for lowlands graduating through ochre and amber to deep rust-red for elevations above 3000m -- with red dot symbols indicating population centers such as Lyon, Grenoble, and Nice. Red italic annotations mark agricultural and industrial activities: aluminium, metallurgie, moutons, vaches. The western Paris Basin side uses a similar low-relief palette in green and yellow tones, depicting Normandy, Picardy, and the Seine valley with cities including Rouen, Caen, Cherbourg, and Paris. Both maps carry Rossignol branding and scale notation at 1\/400,000. The paper shows age-consistent toning and light handling wear along fold lines, consistent with classroom use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sheet measures approximately 90cm x 75cm \/ 35.4\" x 29.5\". The maps are printed recto-verso on a single sheet, numbered No. 9 and No. 10 respectively in the Rossignol geographic series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical wall piece for a study, office, or French-themed interior, and a collectible document for those interested in mid-century French cartography or educational ephemera. The Rossignol series is actively sought by collectors of vintage French school material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58044290302296,"sku":"223593007266_AA64","price":205.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_520b808a-6283-41e8-abcf-c005ef8a1a0d.jpg?v=1787241561","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/vintage-french-educational-map-poster-alps-2008265","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
