Nicolas Sanson 1600-67 was to bring about the rise of French cartography although the fierce competition of the Dutch would last until the end of the century.

Born in Abbeville in the Picardy region of France 1600 Sanson studied history and turned to cartography as a means of recording it. In 1630 he was made Géographe Ordinaire du Roi and was to become one of the tutors to Louis XIV.
