He was a member of the Caveau moderne and founder, in 1813, of the Soupers de Momus.[1]
14 August 1814, he was received in the Caveau lyonnais. On that occasion he wrote reception couplets.[2]
In 1815, in collaboration with César de Proisy d'Eppe, Alexis Eymery, René Perrin and Joseph Tastu, he was one of the five editors of the Dictionnaire des girouettes, ou Nos contemporains peints d'après eux-mêmes ... par une société de girouettes... This 444 pages book which stigmatized the opportunists of the period 1789-1815, including illustrious members of the Caveau moderne such as Pierre-Antoine-Augustin de Piis and Emmanuel Dupaty, contributed to the demise of that society in 1817.
