The 18th century

The Cassini Map, an 18th-century masterpiece, embodies the Cassini family's ambition to produce an accurate geographical representation of the Kingdom of France. Initiated by Jean-Dominique Cassini, this undertaking spanned several generations, with each descendant contributing to the development of this revolutionary map.

Once unfolded and assembled, the 181 sheets reveal a majestic representation of France spanning 12 metres by 12 metres, a work of spectacular scale that is more than double the dimensions of Veronese's famous and monumental Wedding at Cana .

A magnificent result

To exhibit such a collection is to share and educate in a unique and grandiose way. It is to highlight French know-how, our history and our heritage.
