L'architecture françoise, ou, Recueil des plans, elevations, coupes et profils des églises, palais, hôtels & maisons particulieres de Paris, & des chasteaux & maisons de campagne ou de plaisance des environs, & de plusieurs autres endroits de France, bâtis nouvellement par les plus habils architectes, et levés & mesurés exactement sur les lieux.

L'architecture française : réimpression de l'édition originale de 1727", Paris, G. Vanoest, 1927-1929, shows 562 plates in v. 1-3. Guilmard lists 540 plates (more than one to a leaf in some instances).

Vol. 4 is composed of engravings by Jean Marot, a selection of whose work was also reprinted by Mariette in 1727 under the same title and known as "le grand Marot". Selection of plates apparently varies between these two Mariette reprintings.

Bibliothèque nationale catalogue attributes title to Pierre-Jean Mariette.

Many plates executed by Jean Mariette, the remainder by various artists and engravers.

Title page of v. 5 varies: "... profils des maisons royalles, de quelques églises de Paris, et de chateaux et maisons de plaisances situées tant aux environs de cette ville qu'en d'autres endroits ... .
