Tissot,né le 29/08/1828, fut nommé ministre plénipotentiaire de France à Tanger de 1871 à 1876. Ses travaux archéologiques en firent "l'initiateur de la science-française au Maroc" (Lamartinière).

M. Tissot held the post of Minister Plenipotentiary in Morocco from 1871 to 1876. He followed out all the Roman roads in that country, and this was the most fruitful period of his archaeological career. It was in the intervals between his excursions that he wrote his « Maurétanie Tingitane », at Tangier. His learning and acuteness in research shed lustre on France and the Diplomatic Service. His weakness as a critic was the contempt he displayed for those less able than himself, or who had the misfortune to differ from him
