I believe that the reference to the map and its publisher are:

Birdseye View of Paris, Black & White, 3D map
Blondel La Rougery, in France
contact: Jean Barbotte, Tel: 01-48-94-94-52
268 Rue de Bremont
93561 Rosny Sous Bois

The map used in the film was purchased at Espace I.G.N., another,
large, french mapmaking company. Its address and contact information
are:

Espace I.G.N.
107 rue La Boëtie
75008 Paris
Phone : (0)1 43 98 80 00
Fax : (0)1 43 98 85 89

The telephone country code for France is 033 or 33.

Many e-mail addresses are given at I.G.N.' website (www.ign.fr) for
correspondence.
A general one is: ign-sologne@ign.fr, and one for questions about maps
is cartotheque@ign.fr  Nevertheless, the best might be to call,
particularly if you speak some French, and if you do not, they should
have people there who can speak to you in English. Or, perhaps a
friend who speaks French could help.

They have a list of distributors outside of France for at least some
of their products.

I.G.N.'s distributor in the U.S. is listed as:

MAP LINK INC
MAP DISTRIBUTORS
30 S. La Patera Lane, Unit #5
Santa Barbara, CA 93117
CALIFORNIA – USA
(1) (805) 692-6777
(1) (805) 692-6787
billhunt@maplinkinc.com

I.G.N.'s distributor in Canada is listed as:

ULYSSE
4176 St Denis
MONTREAL
Québec H2W 2M5
http://www.ulysse.ca
(1) (514) 843-9882
(1) (514) 843-9448
guidly@ulysse.ca

In case of difficulty communicating with I.G.N. in France, one of the
distributors may be able to help you to order the map.

I believe this is the information you were seeking. Please let me know
if anything is lacking or requires clarification.

Bon Chance!

Let me acknowledge the help of Claire O'Neil, Clearance Coordinator
for the film "The Truth About Charlie" and researcher who procured the
map. The map is copyrighted by the publisher and received an end
credit.

I found a store where it is sold and am closing in on the name of
printer, to be able to provide you the complete information hopefully
shortly.
