Aqueduct across the valley
The aqueduct arches spanning the Bièvre valley form a rare straight line in a town of bends, and they give the southern part of the map a clear horizontal anchor.

The map
About this Cachan map poster
Cachan sits just south of the Paris ring road, in the Val-de-Marne, where the land drops into the valley of the Bièvre and climbs again on the other side. From above, the town is a dense patchwork of short residential streets, small blocks and garden plots. Its edges merge with the surrounding suburbs, so the map reads as one continuous fabric.
The strongest line on the map is historical. Aqueducts carrying water towards Paris cross the valley on arches that Cachan shares with neighbouring Arcueil, and their straight course cuts through the curving streets below. The RER B line runs through the town as well, adding a second firm stroke that links Cachan to the capital.
A Cachan map poster shows how a small commune can hold several layers at once: a buried river valley, older roads following the slope, and newer housing filling in between. The town is also long associated with the École normale supérieure, which had its campus here for decades. Seen in black and white, the town's scale and texture read clearly without any colour.

Bièvre valley slopes
The Bièvre river now runs mostly underground, but its valley still shapes the street pattern, with roads stepping down one side and climbing the other in gentle curves.
RER B corridor
The commuter rail line cuts north–south through the town, a firm band on the map that shows how closely Cachan is tied to central Paris.

Why Cachan
A map that means something
Cachan is often a place people pass through on the way to somewhere else, yet many have studied, lived or started a family here. A map of its compact streets and aqueduct line is a quiet reminder of those years, fitting easily on a wall in a small apartment.
You can add your own title, a subtitle and a date, such as the year you moved in or graduated, and pick one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. The digital files cost $9, or you can order a printed, framed poster.
