Gilles and his son Didier Robert de Vaugondy ran a very successful map and globe business, publishing over 500 maps and other geographical works. In 1731, Gilles inherited from Pierre Moullart-Sanson his entire stock of maps, copper plates, presses etc which set him up in business. He re-issued many of Sanson’s works. In 1734, he was appointed ‘geographe du roi’.
