Explanations:

Map.

Totally insufficient information.

It should be noted that whereas "Lagny" seems to correspond to Lagny-sur-Marne in the Seine-et-Marne department, I found no place or town in this department that matches with "Rigollet" or something like that.

"Rigollet" or "Rigolet" may actually be a witness name.
