How about Paris to Marseille (775km vs 615km for LA to SF) in 3 hours 15 min, Paris to Bordeaux (584km) to be 2 hours by 2017, or Brussels to Lyon (734km) in 3 hours 43 min?

This is pretty wrong. The view you describe arises from the complete renewal in the history of the Middle Ages that occurred from the 1950s onwards, and which established that the commonly called "Dark Ages" weren't so dark a
