One side displays \"L'Ouest\" (Western France), covering Brittany, Normandy, the Loire Valley and the Atlantic coast, with topographic shading, city markers by population size, rail lines, agricultural and industrial annotations. The reverse presents \"Pyrenees,\" mapping the full Pyrenean range from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, including a detailed elevation cross-section profile of the Pyrenees Centrales along the bottom margin. Both maps are numbered N7 and N8 respectively, at scale 1\/500,000, and carry the Editions Rossignol imprint with their standard color-coded legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poster is printed on stiff card stock, typical of Rossignol school wall maps intended for classroom display. The cartography uses layered topographic coloring -- pale green for lowlands, amber and orange tones for higher elevations -- with red dot markers indicating city population thresholds. Red italic text overlays indicate regional agricultural products, industries and livestock (Primeurs, Vaches, Pecheries, Metallurgie, Uranium, Marbre, Avions, Textiles among others). Both sides show the characteristic Rossignol formatting: bold city names, blue river networks and dashed boundary lines. The map is in used condition consistent with classroom handling -- light surface wear and minor handling marks are visible, with no significant tears noted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poster measures approximately 90cm x 75cm \/ 35.4\" x 29.5\", as stated by the seller, making it a substantial wall format suitable for display. This double-sided format was standard for Rossignol classroom series, allowing a single map to cover two geographic regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRossignol school maps are actively collected as vintage French graphic documents. This double-sided example covering Western France and the Pyrenees represents a coherent regional pairing and displays well as a period graphic work, particularly in map or travel-themed interiors. The clean cartographic style and regional agricultural annotations give it informational as well as decorative interest.\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":58044359835992,"sku":"223593007266_62D4_9434","price":205.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_6c44d4c5-95fa-4e53-bdcf-eff97052541f.jpg?v=1787241594","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/vintage-french-educational-school-map-poster-20082613","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
