The long-forgotten history of the French Telegraph

Between 1794 and 1850 France was the fastest country on earth.
Sending a message between cities took minutes not days and it was thanks to the Chappe Telegraph System. This optical telegraph network spanned hundreds of miles and included hundreds of towers connecting the entire country.
Today, only a few of these towers remain.
