History

The Romans under Marcus Agrippa established a network of roads circa 39 BC to 15 BC radiating from the then capital of the Gauls at Lugdunum (Lyon), known collectively as
Via Agrippa ''Via Agrippa'', is any stretch of the network of Roman roads in Gaul that was built in the last century BCE by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, to whom Augustus, Octavian entrusted the reorganization of the Gauls. In all, the Romans built of roads in ...
. From Lugdunum the road north passed towards Lutèce (Paris) following roughly the route of current RN 6, and southward towards Rome, skirting the Rhone and passing through Arausio (Orange) and following the edge of the Mediterranean, like the current RN 7. In the 15th century, with the creation of the royal post by
Louis XI Louis XI (3 July 1423 – 30 August 1483), called "Louis the Prudent" (), was King of France from 1461 to 1483. He succeeded his father, Charles VII. Louis entered into open rebellion against his father in a short-lived revolt known as the ...
, a coherent network of roads was set up. The routes from Paris to Lyon pass through Moulins (''route du Bourbonnais'') or Dijon (''route de Bourgogne''). In the next century the first regular use of the road is made and elms were planted along the ways for shade and to mark the route. At that time (1553) the ''Le Guide des chemins de France'' ("Guide to the trails of France"), by the royal printer
Robert Estienne Robert I Estienne (; 15037 September 1559), known as ''Robertus Stephanus'' in Latin and sometimes referred to as ''Robert Stephens'', was a 16th-century printer in Paris. He was the proprietor of the Estienne print shop after the death of his f ...
, the ancestor of all the modern guidebooks, was published.
