If you go to the IGN website http://loisirs.ign.fr/11/cartes/randonnee-france.htm and then click on the green graphic link top right of the page ‘recherche carte de randonnee’ then a map of France appears and you can then click to see areas of the path at either 1: 8000 or 16 000 or 1:32 000. Adjust using the scale on the right between Rue and Ville. Click on the map to move to the next sections of the path.
