Biography
Pierre Vigier (1760, Cassaniouze (Cantal)- 19 September 1817, Savigny-sur-Orge) was a French magistrate.
Life
Vigier is perhaps best known for managing several public baths on the banks of the Seine (the "Bains Vigier"). The first one opened in 1791. Vigier was a public prosecutor at Parlement until the French Revolution, when he shifted to a successful career in the business of thermal baths (in French baigneur-étuviste).
