France, L’Hexagone
The cathedral building movement in the Gothic style is concentrated in France and is thought to have been a French phenomenon. As below the new currency of France, the Euro, displays a hexagon with a stylised tree because France’s nickname is l’hexagone. The reason for this is that the shape of the country is a slightly irregular hexagon as in the figure. This brings to mind the triangular isle of Britain and the square of the Iberian Peninsular. In Celtic times the Triangular Isle was a short hand descriptor for the dimensions of Britain, mentioned by Julius Caesar. This simple form of geometrical map making is profoundly useful especially in an oral tradition where information has to be placed into the simplest yet effective form. The complex geography of France is summarised as a hexagon, its dimension probably given in ancient measure and even its features located with Paris and its meridian close to the centre line.
The centre line is close to the Paris Meridian as I have drawn it and that in turn runs close by Renne le Chateau. The drawing is only approximate and so it is likely that the Hexagon of France has this meridian as its centre line.
This in turn would mean that Paris and Carcassonnee/ Renne le Chateau are on the Centre Line of an heaxagonal region called France, using the techniques of Geomancy found in Chapter 5 and documented clearly in the founding of Iceland and the location of Ting or Thing places throughout Northern Atlantic and Baltic. The hexagon is well discussed as a "root 3" geometry and the related "ad triangulum" style was developed exactly in France.
