Born in Les Deux Sevres, Poitou Charentes, he dedicated his life to creating detailed and accurate atlases that showcased various regions of France and its colonies. In 1876, Vuillemin published an exceptional atlas featuring one hundred and five meticulously crafted maps. These maps were drawn from the depot of war, bridges, footwear, and the Navy's extensive collection. Each map provided invaluable insights into different territories across France. Vuillemin's atlas covered diverse regions such as Allier in Auvergne with its charming landscapes and historical significance. The department was beautifully depicted through his intricate cartography skills. Corsica also found its place within this remarkable atlas.
