Savoir Lire un Plan: French Map-Reading Worksheet – Free Printable 📍
One town map, eighteen places, three streets — and eleven questions to answer from the map alone. Nine vrai / faux statements on the position of the buildings, two situational questions (the gym crossroads, the art-gallery opening), and two culture générale questions on the street names: Louis Pasteur, Victor Hugo, Émile Zola.
The worksheet trains the language of location — à côté de, en face de, entre, sur, parallèle à — in a real-life task: reading a plan. The US Letter PDF with watermark is free for everybody; the clean PDFs and the editable DOCX files (A4 and US Letter) are for Premium members. The full answer key is included.
✨ What students practise
First, reading a plan: find the streets, locate the buildings, understand what à côté de, en face de and entre mean on a map — not in a grammar table. Then, checking each statement against the map: nine vrai/faux decisions that require real observation, not guesswork.
Finally, producing answers: two open questions (the gym crossroads, the vernissage) and two culture questions about the famous names on the map. In short, one page that covers reading, locating, reasoning and writing in French.
Find the three streets and the eighteen buildings on the map.
Read the nine statements and locate each building they mention.
Circle VRAI or FAUX, with the map as the only evidence.
Answer the two open questions and the culture générale lines.
📍 The map: 18 places, 3 streets
Everything the student has to locate on the plan:
