The first will take you to a document which talks about this urban legend with a bibliography if you want to do more research. It is on page 14
The second is the home page for Chateau de Circe (Voltaire's home) and any mention of this topic is missing, indicating its legendary nature
Unfortunately, there is no link to Voltaire histories which even mention this topic since it isn't based on fact the histories ignor it.
