  • The Slow Post Roads of 18th-Century France

    The Slow Post Roads of 18th-Century France
    Sep 12 2026
    Tonight we travel very slowly along the royal post roads of eighteenth-century France. Broken stone laid in courses and planted with poplars. Relay stables with the horses already harnessed and waiting. Ledgers kept by lamplight — date, hour, rider, direction, sums owing. Postilions in greased leather boots who knew twenty miles of road and very little else. Letters paid for on delivery, pages crossed sideways to save a fold, and the small cheeses that the regulations never managed to stop.

    Nothing hurries. Nothing is lost. Everything arrives eventually.
