Charles-François Panard (or Pannard ) is a Poète and Dramaturge French born with the Courville-on-Eure the November 2nd 1689 and died with Paris the June 13rd 1765.

Biography

Panard occupied a small use of office and rimait to be diverted, without thinking of making career. The Legrand actor committed it to write for the theater. Chansonnier and fertile dramatic author, he was the author of a hundred Comédie S, mainly for the theaters of the Fair, of which only a small portion was joined together in the edition of sound Théâtre and various Œuvres (1763). He worked for the Op3era Comique, the Théâtre of the fair, for the Commedia dell'Arte, and even made represent a part with the Comédie-Française, Affichard .

He attended the coffees, wrote on corners of tables and papers on which the wine spots were, according to him, “the seal of the genius”. He in particular composed of famous towards bacchic of which the unequal meters form the drawing of a bottle or glass. He left many short parts: fables, allegories, comparisons, councils and maxims, epigrams, madrigaux, enigmas, cantatas, varieties, bouquets, etc It would have composed some in very nearly 800. According to Maurice Allem: “If its gallant parts are not the gallant last and if they miss this accomplished grace which made all the merit of the compositions of some of its contemporaries, its epigrammatic parts, on the other hand, are inoffensive. It always took care not to attack the people there. ”

Jovial fellow, rather catch, Panard was the close friend of Pierre Gallet and member of the Caveau which preserved like a relic its glass, where held a full bottle of Bordeaux wine. Its physique, thick and heavy, was far from announcing its liveliness and itself is described:

Not very sharp in maintenance, apprehensive, discrete, dreamer…

Chansonnier without singing, passable coupletor .

In spite of its abundant production, it was almost completely stripped with the approach of old age. Three generous people met to ensure a revenue of 300 francs per annum to him, which was little but sufficient for a modest man of taste. He preserved until his last days his liveliness and his good mood and died of an attack of Apoplexie in 1765.
