Life

Vigier is perhaps best known for managing several public baths on the banks of the Seine (the "Bains Vigier"). The first one opened in 1791. ^[1]^[2] Vigier was a public prosecutor at the Parlement until the French Revolution, when he shifted for a successful career in the business of thermal baths (in French baigneur-étuviste).^[3]
