He studied first under his father (who was superior of the college of Grimaldi), and afterwards at Paris (1701), where,. having entered orders, he obtained the vicarage of St. Etienne-du-
Mont, and later (1716) that of St. Paul. In 1718 he was nominated canon of Laon, but, on account of the papal interference, he returned to Polisseau. He died at Sarigny-sur-Orge, Nov. 25, 1756.
