Born with Lyon, it fills a long time a place in the farms with Sète, but dislocated itself some in 1762 to come to fix themselves at Paris and to devote its leisures to the study.
He undertook to translate into French worms the poems of Homère: he gave in 1766 his translation of the Iliade , which made it enter to the Académie inscriptions. He then made follow the Odyssée in 1772.
