A chart of the Indian Ocean. There was considerable French interest in the Indian Ocean: from 1735 there were French efforts to completely colonise Mauritius, La Réunion and and the Seychelles. Two years after the map was published the Compagnie Perpétuelle des Indes would make a bid for greater control in India. Madagascar was of interest as a centre of piracy. The chart was issued separately and as part of Jean de Beaurain's 'Atlas geographique'.
