The new atlas of France

Yvonne Rebeyrol reviews the revised Atlas de France, originally produced by the Comité national de géographie between the world wars. The new edition refines geological and climatological mapping and substantially expands economic and human geography. New or updated maps cover agriculture and farming systems, energy, industry, transport, population distribution and demographic structure. An isochrone map examines travel conditions around major urban centres. Rebeyrol regards the revision as evidence of the vitality and quality of the French geographical school.
