The parisians will appreciate the countryside starting at the gates of the jardin des tuileries (which by the way is how it is depicted in the game Assassin's Creed Unity, which is a below average game but gives you way to walk freely in a Paris under the revolution, and view many buildings and monuments that have since been destroyed).
I noticed the same. At the time, the Louvre Palace was near the western end of Paris, similar to how the Palace of Westminster was near the western end of London.
Also, the northern wing of the Louvre and most of today's Place du Louvre and Place du Carrousel were still several residential blocks back then. And the Palais des Tuileries (burned down by the Paris Commune in the 1870ies) was still standing...

I printed a 1.5 meter version of this map 10 years ago, it still looks beautiful on my living room wall.
This map is impressive!
That 40kpx x 40kpx scan (800 Megabyte) of that map broke my system. Wow.
I just downloaded and thought maybe 80MB... why is it taking so long... hm
Edit: Made a 30MB png with linear interpolation (because I don't have all day): http://move.rupy.se/file/turgot.png
Here's another map of Paris (this time with interpolation): http://move.rupy.se/file/eau_paris_3.png
