1930 GUIDES MICHELIN REGIONAUX VOSGES LORRAINE ALSACE 7 COLOUR MAPS 21 B/W PHOTO

Description: I have here for sale a book entitled GUIDES MICHELIN REGIONAUX VOSGES LORRAINE ALSACE. This is the Michelin Guide to Vosges, Lorraine and Alsace. It is a first edition published in 1930 by Michelin et Cie, Clermont Ferrand, France. It is written in French throughout and gives the usual advice on using Michelin tyres, all the information on travelling by car with 69 itineraries, 7 colour maps, 71 plans of localities, 12 plans of monuments, 3 panoramas, 158 illustrations, 21 b/w photos. Adverts here and there throughout.In 1900, there were fewer than 3,000 cars on the roads of France. To increase the demand for cars and, accordingly, car tyres, car tyre manufacturers and brothers Édouard and André Michelin published a guide for French motorists, the Michelin Guide. Nearly 35,000 copies of this first, free edition of the guide were distributed. It provided information to motorists, such as maps, tyre repair and replacement instructions, car mechanics listings, hotels, and petrol stations throughout France. In 1904, the brothers published a guide for Belgium similar to the Michelin Guide. Michelin subsequently introduced guides for Algeria and Tunisia (1907); the Alps and the Rhine (northern Italy, Switzerland, Bavaria, and the Netherlands) (1908); Germany, Spain, and Portugal (1910); the British Isles (1911); and "The Countries of the Sun" (Les Pays du Soleil) (Northern Africa, Southern Italy and Corsica) (1911). In 1909, an English-language version of the guide to France was published and so the series grew. Following the usage of the Murray's and Baedeker guides, the guide began to award stars for fine dining establishments in 1926 which is what it is best known for today.Please have a look at my other Michelin Guides on sale on Ebay either now or in the next week or so.
