Daniel-Charles Trudaine (3 January 1703 – 19 January 1769) was a French administrator and civil engineer. He was one of the primary developers of the present French road system. He is also known for the monumental ''Atlas de Trudaine'' ("Trudaine Atlas", also known as "Trudaine Road Maps"), made under his direction. == Life == Trudaine was born in Paris, the son of Charles Trudaine, ''prévôt des marchands de Paris'' (provost of the merchants of Paris). Daniel-Charles was a ''conseiller'' in the Parlement of Paris, then ''intendant'' of the Auvergne from 1730 to 1734. In 1743, he was named an honorary member of the Académie des sciences. In the following year, he was made director of the Assemblée des inspecteurs généraux des ponts et chaussées (Assembly of General Inspectors of Bridges and Roads), a title he held until his death. He founded the École nationale des ponts et chaussées (School of Civil Engineering) in 1747, with Jean-Rodolphe Perronet, engineer of the généralité of Alençon, as its head. As head of civil engineering for the French state, Trudaine demonstrated his brilliance, creating several thousand kilometres of royal routes (now known as the "''routes nationales''") linking Paris to France's frontiers and main seaports. This network was one of the best designed in Europe, with routes built as straight as possible, laid out "''de clocher à clocher''" (from steeple to steeple), 60 feet (19.4 m) wide, bordered with trees and bound with ditches that were linked to rivers. Trudaine was also responsible for the planning and construction of the Place Royale in Reims and other urban projects. His son, Jean-Charles-Philibert Trudaine de Montigny, succeeded him in his official position. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel-Charles Trudaine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
