He published a large number of maps, map games and town plans, each appearing in many different states and in many different publications, the most important of which were: “Cartes de Geographie” (1667, 1684), “Le Monde ou la Geographie Universelle” (1661, 1672), “Geographie Universelle” (1682, 1691, 1694), and “Le Monde Chrestien” (1670?).
