The Orne river
The Orne flows past the town as a slim winding line with meadows on its banks, softening the edge of the historic centre on the map.

The map
About this Argentan map poster
Argentan lies in the Orne department of Normandy, on the upper course of the Orne river, in the open farmland known as the Argentan plain. From above, the town has a compact historic core of short, irregular streets, surrounded by later residential districts, with main roads leading north toward Caen and south toward Alençon.
The church of Saint-Germain rises in the old centre, and the town is known for Point d'Argentan, a needle lace made here since the seventeenth century and still practised by the Benedictine nuns of the local abbey. In August 1944 Argentan stood at the southern jaw of the Falaise Pocket, and much of the centre had to be rebuilt after the fighting.
An Argentan map poster appeals to people from the Orne, to lace enthusiasts, and to those whose families have a connection to the 1944 campaign in Normandy. In black and white, the line of the river and the dense old streets make a clear, balanced composition, and the coordinates line underneath gives the print a quiet documentary quality.

Historic centre
The old town forms a compact knot of short streets around the church of Saint-Germain, the densest part of the plan and the natural focus of the print.
Argentan plain
Beyond the suburbs the land opens into wide, flat farmland, so the town sits as a clearly defined shape with roads fanning outward across the countryside.

Why Argentan
A map that means something
Argentan's map carries more than streets: it holds a lacemaking tradition and a place in the story of 1944. It suits a Normandy family home, a gift for a veteran's descendant, or anyone who knows the town from travels through the Orne.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can be personalised, and the design comes in five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. HD files in six sizes cost $9, and printed posters on matte paper ship from partners in over 30 countries.
