Biography

He applied less to the practice than with the theory of his art; he was however in charge of the construction of various remarkable buildings: it is on its drawings that were high the Hôtel of Mortemart and the frontage of the church of Feuillantines of the Faubourg Saint-Jacob, whose Blondel collected the plans in its French Architecture . One still quotes among the principal works of Marot the frontage of the Hôtel of Pussort and the Château of Lavardin in the Maine. It was named architect of the king, and presented a project for the principal frontage of the Louvre (see: Perrault). This artist published with his son the plans of the principal old and modern buildings. One is unaware of the time of his death; but it is well certainly former to the year 1697.
