Other things to note Post houses appeared at the end of the reign of Louis XI to provide lodging for the King's Riders, who exclusively carried royal correspondence. It was not until the beginning of the 17th century that private letters were also taken care of, a measure taken by Henry IV leading to a significant increase in traffic. All these relays were run by Postmasters, whose status was redefined by Louvois, Minister of Louis XIV: this activity, coveted because it was linked to obtaining privileges (exemption from the payment of the taille), nevertheless entailed many obligations. The postmaster must reside on site, have buildings capable of housing crews and mounts but also to store fodder, be available for any requisition of the monarchy and replace a neighboring colleague in case of failure. Come and take on the role of the Postmaster, but without any obligation! :-)
