The Meeting-Place Poster

Personalised map poster: the map of your city or neighbourhood

A personalised map poster draws the map of your city, your neighbourhood or an address that matters to you, with a marker placed on the exact spot. All you need to add is a title, first names or a name and a date: free preview, no photo to send, framed or on canvas, from €39 on a 20 × 25 cm canvas.

How do I create a personalised map poster?

1. You type the place

A precise address or a well-known place: a bridge, a square, a café, a station. Suggestions appear as you type (addresses in France, Belgium and Switzerland).

2. You choose the design

A colour scheme, a framing, a marker and the shape of the map. The preview updates, with no account and no bank card needed.

3. You write your text

A title, your first names, a line for the place and date. The place’s coordinates are calculated automatically.

4. You order

You choose the size and the finish, then the poster is designed in France and printed in Europe.

Five examples of map posters of cities and places

These examples vary the colour scheme, the framing, the marker and the shape of the map. Your poster starts from the same design, with your city or your place, your text and your date.

Create my poster

City map poster: what you choose

The map is drawn around the place you have chosen, from OpenStreetMap data. You set five things, then you write your text: the preview shows what will be printed.

  • Five colour schemes

    Cream, Night, Black and white, Sage or Terracotta: each colour scheme sets the background, the streets and the colour of the marker in one go.

  • Three framings

    The street shows the blocks around the place (about 650 m wide), the neighbourhood about 1.1 km, the town about 2.6 km.

  • Four markers

    A heart, a star, a pin or a simple dot, placed on the exact spot of the chosen place.

  • Two map shapes

    A rectangle, or a circle like a medallion. The framing is set separately, whatever the shape.

  • GPS coordinates

    A line such as “47.2135° N · 1.5580° W” is calculated from the chosen place. A tick box lets you show or hide it.

  • Your three texts

    A title of 30 characters at most, with five suggestions such as “First meeting” or “Where it all began” (or your own), your first names in 32 characters at most and a line for place and date in 42, for example “Nantes · 14 February 2019”.

For which occasion should you give, or treat yourself to, a map poster?

Your home town or the city you love

The city where you were born, the one where you studied or the one you would not leave for anything in the world: the town framing shows a large part of the centre (about 2.6 km wide), with a marker on your street, and the title is yours to choose. It is a gift for a move, a departure or a reunion with one’s roots.

A place that matters to two people

The bench, the café, the bridge where it all began, or the venue of your wedding: the poster keeps that place on your wall, with your two first names and the date. For a poster designed for couples, with examples and advice, see the meeting-place poster page. For more ideas, see the couple gifts page.

The first home

For a housewarming or a move, the poster sets the map of your first home’s neighbourhood. “Our first home” is one of the suggested titles, and you can write your own.

The childhood neighbourhood and the place where a child was born

The maternity ward, the street of your childhood, the neighbourhood where you grew up: the poster maps it, with the child’s first name and date of birth. For the photo of a newborn, see the Birth Print instead.

A city from a trip

A capital discovered together, an island, a honeymoon or a student stay: place the marker on the hotel, the beach or the café that left its mark, choose the “The neighbourhood” or “The town” framing, and write the city and date on the bottom line.

A family home

A family house, a village, a farm where everyone gathers every summer: the poster draws its map, with the family name as the title. It is a gift for parents or grandparents, delivered to them if you enter their address when you order.

Sizes, finishes and prices for the personalised map poster

At Lullae, a poster is never delivered as a soft poster. It arrives framed, Fine Art paper behind plexiglass, in 30 × 40, 40 × 50 or 50 × 70 cm. Or on canvas stretched over a frame, also in 20 × 25 and 27 × 35 cm. Acrylic is also possible. As the map is vector-based, it stays sharp at all these sizes.

The personalised map poster starts from €39 on a 20 × 25 cm canvas. The exact price of each size and each finish is shown before you pay.

Your questions about personalised map posters

Type an address or the name of a place, then choose the colour scheme, the framing, the marker and the shape of the map, and write a title, first names or a name, and the line for the place and date. At Lullae, the preview updates with every change, free and with no photo to send. All that is left is to choose the size and the finish. To start: create my map poster.

You type a precise address or the name of a well-known place, such as a bridge, a square, a café or a station, and suggestions appear as you type. Addresses in France, Belgium and Switzerland work: in France they come from the Base Adresse Nationale, down to the street number; places, like Belgian and Swiss addresses, come from OpenStreetMap. You choose the right line, and the map is drawn around that exact point, with the marker placed on it.

Search for it by name: a square, a bridge, a café or a station can be found without a number, among the OpenStreetMap places. For a street with no number, choose the street from the suggestions. At Lullae, if you only select a whole town, the tool invites you to choose a precise address or a place, so that the marker lands in the right spot.

The heart is placed on the address or place you chose from the suggestions. To move it, choose a more precise address or a neighbouring place: the marker is then placed on that new point, and the map is drawn around it. If the heart does not suit you, the star, the pin and the simple dot are offered instead.

The street map around the place, in a rectangle or a circle, with the chosen marker placed on the exact spot. Below are the title (30 characters at most), your first names (32), the line for the place and date (42) and, if you keep them, the coordinates, for example “47.2135° N · 1.5580° W”. At Lullae, the preview and the print file are the same drawing: what you see is what is printed, and the map, being vector-based, stays sharp at every size.

The map data comes from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL licence), which asks for its source to be credited. The poster therefore carries a small, discreet “© OpenStreetMap” credit in a corner. The rest of the poster, from the title to the first names, is yours.
