France Map Maker
Draw on a free map of France. Outline areas, plot places and routes, and label anything, starting from the country's border. Nothing to install, and no account needed to start.
Mapping France
Mainland France runs from the Channel coast to the Mediterranean and from the Atlantic to the Alps. Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Nice are among its cities, with wine regions like Burgundy, Champagne and the Loire Valley between them.
Use the outline to plan a wine country tour, map châteaux in the Loire Valley, or draw a route for a train trip across the country.

How to make a map of France
- 1
Start from the outline
The map opens on France's border, locked so it won't move as you draw over it.
- 2
Draw and add places
Pick a tool from the toolbar to drop points, draw lines and routes, outline areas or add text. Search for any address or place to add it.
- 3
Style it
Choose colors, icons, labels and a basemap. Group features into folders, and add descriptions that pop up when someone clicks.

Save it and share it
Save the map to sign up free, and keep editing it in your account. Publish it at a link, or embed it in your website.

Questions
Is this France map free?
Yes. You can draw on it without an account, and saving your map to a free squidmaps account doesn't cost anything during the beta.
Do I need to sign up to use it?
No. Draw as much as you like: your map is kept in this browser while you work. To keep it for good, edit it later and share it, save it and sign up with your email address.
Can I add my own places to the map of France?
Yes. Search for addresses and places, drop pins, draw routes and areas, or import a spreadsheet, CSV or GeoJSON file of your own.
How do I share my map?
Once it's saved to your account, publish it: it gets its own link that anyone can open, and code to embed it in a website.
Can I download a map of France?
You can export your map's features as GeoJSON or as a squidmaps map document from the menu under the squid, and open them in other mapping tools.
