    (The "Série orange" is the topographical map of France to the scale of 1:50000. The general title of the series has undergone a slight change in the course of its publication, from "Série orange: carte topographique de la France à 1:50000" to "Série orange 1:50000". In order to keep title indexes coherent, an additional title has been created, using the former title of the set.)
