This gardener receives only one summary education. He passes the essence of his life to the Charlemagne college. This large recoltor of plants is often solicited by botanists like Louis-Claude Marie Richard (1754-1821) or Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu (1748-1836) to accompany them during their herborizing.

He makes trade of his herborizings and sells in particular herbaria very prepared. The Genevese, Benjamin Delessert (1773-1784), obtains an herbarium thus. Thuillier publishes in 1790, a Flore of the surroundings of Paris, or methodical Distribution of the plants which grow there naturally, carried out according to the system of Linnaeus (Widowed Desaint, Paris, 1790). Thuillier is in fact only the author of the indications of localities. Descriptions being entrusted to other botanists.
