Abstract

Welcome to the Medieval French Roads Project. Here you will find a digital map of roads and bridges in France between the 11th and 16th centuries. The map has been created using a variety of primary sources, from well-known itineraries such as the Itinerarium de Brugis and Charles Estienne's La Guide des Chemins de France, to unpublished manuscript sources. [BnF français 136, fol. 36v.] A database has been created which provides essential details about each individual stretch of road and bridge including its century of attestation, source, any notes in the source text, and, where necessary, our own notes.
