This 1760 New Tour of France, Geographical, Historical and Curious, Arranged by Different Routes, For the Use of Foreigners and the French was the Michelin Guide. I have downloaded the PDF and intend to use it as a reference work on my next visit.
Aix en Provence has been one of my favourite cities since I first visited in the mid-eighties. I was intrigued to find M. d'Agueville's home was considered a tourist attraction.
"There are several other attractions in Aix, either in churches or private homes, among others do not forget to see at M. Agueville's, Counsellor at the Parliament, a cabinet of pictures he has taken care to assemble."
The Archives départementales des Bouches-du-Rhône are available online, but Aix was a major centre with several churches or institutions where births, marriages and deaths could have been registered.
