From Carcassonne's walled city to the Alpine passes, these maps from Baedeker's Southern France follow the handbook's itinerary on the eve of the First World War; all come from the sixth edition, published in 1914. City plans cover Bordeaux, Toulouse, Lyon, Marseille and smaller provincial centres, while coastal sheets run from Biarritz to Cannes, Nice and the Riviera. Mountain maps follow the Pyrenees and the French Alps, including Gavarnie, Luchon, Chamonix and the Tarentaise. Corsica has island and local maps of its own, and San Sebastián and other border approaches show how far the handbook's travellers might roam.
