The map
Melun is the prefecture of Seine-et-Marne, about forty-five kilometres southeast of Paris. The Seine runs through the middle of the town, and in the centre it divides around an island, the Île Saint-Étienne, which forms the historic heart of the place. On the map, the river and its bridges are the first things you see.
The old town spreads from the northern bank in a tight web of streets, while the southern side extends in larger blocks and later residential districts. The island between them carries a small cluster of streets and landmarks, including the church of Notre-Dame. Beyond the centre, the town reaches towards the forest of Fontainebleau to the south and the wide farmland of Brie.
Melun gave its name to Brie de Melun, one of the two Brie cheeses with protected status, and the château of Vaux-le-Vicomte lies a short distance away. A Melun map poster puts the Seine at the centre of the composition, as it is at the centre of the town, with everything else arranged around the crossing.
The island in the Seine is where Melun began, and on the print it appears as a small, dense shape held in the river between the two halves of the town.
Several crossings link the banks through the centre, short, precise lines that stitch the town together and give the map its natural focal point.
On the north bank, the old town forms an irregular web of narrow streets, a finer texture than the broader, more regular blocks of later districts.

Why Melun
Melun suits people who commute to Paris but think of this riverside town as home, and those who studied or worked here. The river island gives the map a natural centre, so it holds together well on a wall.
