A late eighteenth-century French guidebook to Paris, Versailles, Marly, Vincennes and Saint-Cloud, compiled by Le Rouge, Saugrain and Piganiol de La Force and published in Paris in 1778 for visitors and curious readers. Its pictures are crisp copperplate engravings of city views, royal squares, and monumental gates, showing measured architecture with small figures for scale, useful for designers studying classical urban layout and formal ornament.
