Warehouse Clearance Old Gastronomic Map Of France In 1932 By Alain Bourguignon - French Food, Michelin, Champagne, Bordeaux, Butter, Cheese, Etc. Device [9NRqjbkT]

This wonderful old map of the gastronomy of France was originally published in 1932. It was created by Alain Bourguignon.

"Carte Gastronomique de la France" translates to "Gastronomic map of France", the practice of cooking and eating good food. French cuisine is known worldwide for its use of fresh ingredients, flavours, presentations, simplicity and formal techniques.

This informative map of France shows the different specialised cuisines of each region, city, town and village of France. One might even relate this map to the Michelin Guide, which started as a list of great places to eat in France.

This map looks great at all sizes: 10x10 inches (25x25cm), 12x12in (31x31cm), 14x14 inches (36x36cm), 16x16in (41x41cm), 18x18in (46x46cm), 24x24 inches (61x61cm), 36x36 inches (92x92cm), 45x45 inches (114.5x114.5cm), 50x50 inches (127x127cm) and 60x60 inches (152.5x152.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.

I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 70in (178cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x18in (46x46cm) version of this map.

The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

Please note the unframed 24x24 inches (61x61cm) map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.

The labels on this map are very small at sizes below 18x18in (46x46cm). The map is still very attractive, but you may struggle to read the smallest letters. Please buy a larger map if it's important to be able to read the map easily.

If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of France by John Tallis & Co and John Rapkin in 1851.

The locations on this map include: Paris, Nantes, Marseille, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lyon, Lille and Strasbourg.

Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in the gastronomy of France or someone who loves eating French food.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
