TANCOIGNE, J.M.
Voyage a Smyrne, dans l'Archipel et l'Ile de Candie, en 1811...1814.
J.M. Tancoigne was an attaché to the French embassy in Persia in 1807. During his stay in that country, he visited Istanbul three times. From 1812 to 1814 Tancoigne was secretary to the French consul in Chania. For this reason he travelled from Istanbul to Smyrna and from there sailed to the Aegean islands on a sakoleva, to finally end up in Crete.
