Engr., 56,5 x 81,5 cm, part. hand-coloured (borders frayed).
Very rare new version of a geographical game focusing on the French "departments". The player's goal is to travel across France and Corsica. The present edition originated during the First Restoration, which increased the number of "departments" by three to 86, including the "departments" Rhône, Vaucluse and Tarn and Garonne.
