Tabula
Annonay is in the north of the Ardèche department, where the Cance and Deûme rivers meet in narrow valleys. The terrain decides the town's shape. The old centre fits into the space between the two rivers, with steep streets, stairways and bridges linking levels, while newer neighbourhoods spread over the surrounding slopes and plateaus.
The town has a notable place in the history of flight. In June 1783, Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier, sons of a local papermaking family, launched the first public demonstration of their hot-air balloon here. Annonay was also the home of the engineer Marc Seguin, known for his work on wire suspension bridges. Paper and leather tanneries long drove the local economy.
An Annonay map poster is an intricate piece of line work: streets wind along valleys and climb hills, and bridges cross ravines. It suits families from the town, visitors to the Ardèche, and anyone interested in the history of flight and engineering.
The Cance and Deûme meet in the town. Their deep, winding valleys set the layout of the old centre and give the map its strongest natural lines.
The historic centre is built on steep ground, with streets and stairways climbing between levels, forming a dense, irregular web on the poster.
Newer districts spread onto the slopes and uplands around the valleys, where the street pattern opens out into looser curves and residential loops.

Cur Annonay
Annonay's story, from paper mills to the first public balloon flight, gives this map weight for anyone who knows the town. It also appeals to people interested in aviation, who like having the place where it began on their wall.
You can add your own title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps with 1783. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, as a digital download or a printed poster.
