He was a canon of Notre Dame de Paris and a councillor to the parlement de Paris. Known as the Abbé de Chauvelin, he was the youngest son of Germain Louis Chauvelin and thus a brother of marquis François Claude Chauvelin. When he was released, he continued to struggle against the Jesuits and in 1761 published two works which had a major impact - Discours sur les constitutions des Jésuites and Compte rendu sur la doctrine des Jésuites.
