What is the best map for walking in France?

The best maps for walking are provided by The Institut Géographic National (IGN), France's national survey agency. IGN green maps (scale - 1;100,000) can be useful for planning, but you'll want to buy the very detailed the IGN 1:25,000 blue series for serious walking. IGN maps aren't commonly available in the US.
