Chaussée Jules César, Roman road between Paris and Rouen, France

The Chaussée Jules César extends for 200 kilometers, featuring a carefully engineered stone foundation that supported regular postal and commercial traffic between major settlements.

Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa initiated the construction of this road in the first century CE as part of the Roman Empire's extensive transportation network in Gaul.

The medieval period saw the road named after Julius Caesar, though historical records indicate a connection to Emperor Julian who restored the route during his reign.

Modern National Route 14 in France follows much of the original Roman path, while selected sections have been converted into marked hiking trails.

Archaeological excavations have revealed a system of inns and postal relay stations positioned every 15 kilometers, enabling same-day message delivery between Paris and Rouen.
