Piganiol de la Force, Desc. de Paris, viii, 294. Bauchal also attributes to Gittardthe Hotel de la Force or S. -Simon in the rue Taranne, but P. de la Force says nothingas to this, merely remarking that fifty years before this house would have been consideredbeautiful. I note that Blondel took his description of S. Sulpice from Piganiol de la Force,who wrote in 1742. Blondels Architecture Fran(;aise, appeared ten years later. See History of French Architecture, 1494-1661, Blomfield, i, 77, for a descrip-tion of De LOrmes design. XXX\III. .it,:/,./.
