Chalons-en-Champagn to le Meix-Tiercelin to Brienne-le-Chateau: Straight




Roman Roads are straight!
Ruth: We have spent the last two days primarily on the Roman Road. This is the original route between Canterbury to Rome. These roads were built long before the pilgrims, and for war and empire not faith. These roads are so well built, and their routes so well chosen that most are now buried underneath the tarmac of main highways.
These roads are straight. So straight that at any point I could throw down a compass and it would always be going directly south.
