Edit Profile
Career
Entering the Congregation of the Oratory, he devoted himself to preaching, where he gained a high reputation. He preached the Lenten sermons of 1717 before Louis XIV, next at the Court of Lorraine, and later twice in the metropolitan church of Paris. The last of these series broke down his health and led to his death at Paris.
