This densely detailed plan of Paris and its surroundings centers on the Seine. The city is laid out in a grid, with an extensive key on the sides identifying what lies within each cell. Among the notable locations shown are the Pont Neuf, Notre-Dame, the Bastille, the Louvre, the Tuileries Palace, the Sorbonne, and much more. This is a later edition updated to include the imprint of Philippe Buache, Delisle's son-in-law. Engraved by Des Rosiers.
