1739 map of Paris

A great resource to complement our reading of Mercier's Panorama of Paris is the Turgot map of Paris, published in 1739. This website (from the Kyoto University library!) allows you to look at the entire map or highlight specific locations.

You can see drawings of actual buildings on the map!
