French tire giant, and renowned map maker, Michelin  , have for the last few years been publishing a nice guide for motorcycles in France. The guide, published like one of Michelin's guide books, has many motorcycle trips detailed.
This year, the Michelin guide has 96 fully explored itineraries available. All the itineraries are available on their ViaMichelin website to download, either in one of the GPS standards, or as a printable roadbook. The downloads are free, but you'll miss out on all the detail.
The details for each itinerary is encompassing. You'll see which are the good restaurants along the way, what the tourist sites are which you can visit, maps of the area, including elevations. Each trip is graded between 1 and 3 stars - in the shape of motorcycles (like with the Michelin Red Restaurant guides). They are also categorized for fun, duo riding and sightseeing.
The guide lists 1820 addresses along the way, 870 tourist attractions and 400 places to sleep.
Price: €16 (special deal at this moment for €15.20)
The biggest problem though is that the guide is in French only... but if you're planning to ride in France, this would be an excellent idea.
