Carte des 12 régions du Maroc avec Sahara - En couleurs et en noir et blanc

Image
Carte du Maroc en couleurs (Scroll down for english version) Il y a quelque temps, dans un cadre professionnel, j'ai eu besoin d'une carte du Maroc respectant le  "nouveau" découpage administratif (qui n'est plus nouveau puisqu'il date de 2015!) qui réponde à deux critères: la carte doit montrer les 12 régions (et non 16) et les couleurs utilisées doivent correspondre au mieux à la charte graphique que j'utilise dans mon travail.

In Morocco, if you pronounce the word "raffia", nobody will know what you are talking about, or almost. This is quite surprising considering that most of the raffia shoes produced in the world are made in Morocco. Only a few people of the upper class used to shopping abroad (especially in France) could recognize it. Yes, Moroccans buy their raffia shoe (Made in Morocco) under a foreign brand! Personally, my first encounter with this material took place in a craft fair in Rabat. The kiosk in question offered less goods than the others and therefore was less attractive, but the hanging fibers, which served as decoration, caught my attention. "- Salam, what is it? - Raffia. - Huh? - E-r-a-f-f-i-a. - And what is raffia? - What you see. A fiber from the raffia tree that comes from Madagascar ...
