Geography

Evidently our Pierre Bardet was a "Garde de Sel" in 1696 in Nieul-Sur-Mer, (Charente-Maritime) from 1694-1698 Nieul-Sur-Mer is just north of La Rochelle, but of course the family came back to La Rochelle, as he and his wife are buried from La Rochelle churches (Saint-Barthelemy and Saint-Jean-du-Perrot respectively)
