The reasons for making this plan of the parishes of Pariss are currently unknown. Its author, Jean Junié was born in Paris, Saint-Eustache parish, on August 20, 1756, he practiced the professions of Water and Forests surveyor and feudist. At an unknown date, he helped the geographic engineer Rittmann who has, among other things, since the 1760s, been in charge of a cartographic survey at the archbishopric in Paris; together they completed the work in 1786, the very year of the creation of the parish plan. At the start of the Revolution, Junié exercised the profession of lawyer and lived at 138 rue Mouffetard. His activity as a cartographer is no longer mentioned, while his political and administrative career is asserting itself.
