A magistrate during the Bourbon Restoration in France, he resigned in 1830 and devoted himself to managing his estates. Mayor of Andelarre and general councilor for the canton of Vesoul between 1848 and 1871, he was deputy for Haute-Saône from 1852 to 1870. Initially an official candidate, he gradually distanced himself from the regime and joined the liberal third party. In 1871, he was representative of Haute-Saône, sitting with the Orléanist monarchists. He was registered at the Réservoirs meeting. In 1876, he was defeated in the legislative elections and withdrew from political life.[2]
