I have had many an entertaining bicyling trip through the Alps using the Michelin maps...one in particular comes to mind, when we got to the bottom of the very steep and dangrous descent the last part was actually a real road as the map showed, with a cable across it and sign...when translated it said, "danger, do not pass"! But all in all, they were the best.-Ken
