Pons Augustin Alletz (1703-1785) was a French agronomist and the grandfather of author and diplomat Édouard Alletz (1798-1850). He spent several years living in a Catholic community that belonged to the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri before he began working as a lawyer in Montpellier. He soon changed careers and moved to Paris to focus on writing. His best known work is L'Agronome, ou Dictionnaire portatif du cultivateur (1760), published in two volumes; it was considered one of the best manuals of country living during its time
