Larsonneau

Larsonneau was a crooked estate agent who had been dismissed from city hall because of snooping through the prefects' files. He had similar ideas to Saccard regarding making money from the rebuilding of Paris but did not have the capital to achieve it. Saccard used him as a front for many of his transactions. He became wealthy and dressed elegantly. As well as running a property business he also was a ruthless moneylender. For some time Larsonneau had a hold over Saccard by hanging on to some ledgers they had falsified together in order to inflate a property value. Saccard did retrieve this but still worked with Larsonneau to ensure that Renée was defrauded of her property
