The clear, clean and uncluttered style of Michelin maps is compounded with extreme attention to detail covering scenic roads (outlined in green), footpaths, panoramic views, emergency telephones, road widths and more. It's this kind of detail that can, for example, help North American tourists avoid surprises while traveling in tiny European cars down narrow roads that are often hundreds of years old. Buildings, monuments, park trails and government offices are highlighted, too. So the Eiffel Tower actually looks like a tower and the famous Wenceslas Square in Prague practically leaps off the page.
