The Lambert Conformal Conic (1 parallel) (also known as the Lambert Tangent) projection is a map projection in which the scale is true along a single standard parallel, and the true shape of small areas is preserved. Parallels are unequally spaced arcs of concentric circles spaced closer to each other near the center of the map. The meridians are equally spaced and intersect the parallels at right angles. Coordinate systems based on this projection are used extensively in France.
