Geological map of France

Superb old map digitally restored, the geological map of France will please you for sure! This poster is a 2D print. Format: 60x60 cm This map of France shows the main geological zones as established during the 19th century. The Tertiary and Quaternary zones, as well as the Cretaceous, are distinguished. We can also see the granite zones, very useful for exploiting granite, as well as the infra-Paleozoic rocks. At the time of the creation of this map, the ambition was to merge the field surveys and create a graph that would determine where to exploit a particular type of ore useful for industry. The industrial revolution is in full swing and quarries continue to open up all over the country! The variety of rocks inventoried on this map also allows us to celebrate the greatness of the country, to show both the diversity of minerals exploitable within its borders but also to celebrate the precision work necessary to draw and distribute this map of France.
