Arcachon and the Landes, Vichy and the Cantal give these maps a mixture of Atlantic resorts, spa towns and inland mountain country. They come from the eighth edition of C. B. Black's The South of France West Half, published in 1909 under his name together with Adam & Charles Black. A route towards Paris and wider Iberian coverage take the maps beyond the region itself, for the guide was organised around journeys rather than any strict definition of southern France. Local resort maps served individual excursions, while broader sheets placed those destinations within a longer tour.
