He gave lessons in geography both to Louis XIII and to Louis XIV. Active from 1627, Sanson issued his first significant map, the "Postes de France", which was published by Melchior Tavernier in 1632. After publishing several general atlases he became the associate of Pierre Mariette. Two younger sons, Adrien (d. 1708) and Guillaume (d. 1703), succeeded him as geographers to the king.
