How do you believe the plague traveled to Paris overland or along the shipping routes?
It traveled by ship, because they used ships to go many places that we use airplanes for now. It also traveled by human beings going from one place to another on foot or horses. It spread quickly due to the fact that the people did not understand how to prevent it and did not have any effective medicines for it. When a person died of the plague, their corpse often spread the plague, because many times the dead were not buried quickly due to so many people being sick. The priests would visit the sick and they spread the plague themselves that way, unknowingly. The people who were sick were not always quarantined so they had contact with people that they then gave the plague to. There were traveling bands of people who thought the way to stop the plague was to beat themselves with whips, and they spread the plague from place to place, because they went from town to town preaching that the people needed to repent and punish themselves in order for God to deliver them of this plague.
