Turgot: A Visionary Leader of 18th Century Paris Step back in time and explore the fascinating life and legacy of Turgot, a prominent figure in 18th century Paris. Born as Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, Baron de l'Aulne, this visionary leader left an indelible mark on the city's landscape and governance. One can catch a glimpse of Turgot's influence through the "Plan de Paris commence l'annee" from 1739. This detailed map showcases iconic landmarks such as Pont Neuf on the Left Bank, offering a window into the bustling streets he sought to improve. An engraving depicting Turgot himself captures his intellectual prowess and determination. Known for his progressive ideas, he implemented various reforms during his tenure as Controller-General of Finances under Louis XVI. However, not all were receptive to his innovative policies, leading to his eventual dismissal. The Plan of Paris reveals more about Turgot's vision for urban development. It highlights significant areas like The Bastille, Place Royale (now known as Place des Vosges), Rue Saint-Antoine, Old Louvre, Palais Royal, Tuileries Gardens - showcasing how these spaces were intricately connected within his grand plan. Delving deeper into the Plan unveils specific districts like Sainte-Genevieve area or notable institutions such as The Observatory or Hospital La Salpetriere – testaments to Turgot's meticulous attention to detail when it came to mapping out every aspect of city life. Not only was Turgot an influential figure himself; he also belonged to a family with remarkable achievements. Michel-Etienne Turgot is celebrated for creating chromolithographs that brought vibrant colors and artistic flair to depictions of their beloved cityscape. Le Temple in 1734 stands out among many engravings dedicated solely to capturing different facets of Parisian life during Turgot's time.
