In the US the DeLorme state atlas and gazetteers
all have a lat/long grid
In France the 1:25,000 topos, previously known as
"serie bleue", and now known as "TOP25" currently have a UTM WGS84 grid for GPS
use. There are also tick marks along the edges for lat/long, the Cassini grid
and even grads of longitude from the Paris meridian
For driving in France the 1:100,000 maps are
perfect. They used to be known as "serie verte", now they are TOP100. They show
every village and track but do not have a good GPS useable
grid.
