About this Vitry-le-François map poster
Vitry-le-François in the Marne department has one of the most geometric town plans in France. It was founded in 1545 by King Francis I, who gave it his name, to replace the town of Vitry-en-Perthois, burned during the wars with Charles V. The new town was laid out as a fortified square with a regular grid of streets.
The grid is still clear today. Straight streets cross at right angles around a large central square, the Place d'Armes, dominated by the collegiate church of Notre-Dame. The town was badly damaged in 1940 and rebuilt afterwards, but the Renaissance plan survived. Around it, the Marne and a junction of canals, including the Marne–Rhine canal, trace long lines across the landscape.
A Vitry-le-François map poster shows off this rare order: a square of streets surrounded by water, rail and canal lines. In black and white it reads almost like an architectural drawing. It suits lovers of urban history, residents, and anyone drawn to the look of a planned town.

Place d'Armes
The large square at the heart of the grid, with the collegiate church of Notre-Dame beside it, anchors the plan like the centre point of a diagram.
Canal junction
Several canals meet the Marne at Vitry-le-François, their long straight lines extending the town's geometry out into the surrounding plain.
