Beyond's Maps Evolving

Moustiersmap-b We've built an incredible system of Maps on Beyond, with multiple zoom layers from all of France to regions to areas, to detailed areas and down to very detailed maps. And with scores of "Special" maps of various interesting subjects. All of these maps have been lovingly and painfully hand-built with Adobe Illustrator.

Now, following a suggestion from Beyond reader George, we are evolving to a new style of map using modified inserts from Google maps. We have changed all the the current Town-Village maps to this new style, as in the this one from Moustiers-Sainte-Marie (http://www.provencebeyond.com/map/moustiers-ste-marie-area-map.html). 

We still have a lot of work to do in adding maps for all of the Site pages and adding additional marker points for the Village area maps, but the change is happening now.

Please, unlimber your typing fingers and let us know what you think about the new maps.

Stevenson's Donkey Route on Beyond

Stjeangard0032crop Following our recent trip through the Cevennes, we've added the route of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes" to the Beyond Maps. Stevenson's route ends at St Jean-du-Gard [map] where we found this "Stevenson Tavern", also labeled the "Auberge Stevenson".

Tour de France 2007 Maps

We've added our Beyond Maps for the Tour de France 2007 cycling route. The overall route around France is shown on the Tour de France 2007 map (sorry London, you got cropped off the top). Details of the 2007 Tour de France Route is shown on Beyond's France-Area maps, such as map-1c for the Dunkerque area.
