Marthe Camille Bachasson was born on April 24, 1801, at Valence, France, the second son of lean Pierre Bachasson, comte de Montalivet, who had been made a peer of France in 1819.
Both his father and his elder brother had been engineer officers, and he was educated at the École Polytechnique and the École des Ponts et Chaussées.
Under Louis Philippe he occupied the ministry of the interior from, with short intervals, 1830 to 1840. After 1840 he was intendant of the civil list, occupying himself with the museums of Versailles and the Louvre, and the restoration of the palaces of Fontainebleau and Saint-Cloud. In 1847 he tried to induce Louis Philippe to adopt electoral reform, and after the catastrophe of the next year undertook the defence of the July monarchy in two works, Le Roi Louis Philippe et la liste civile (1851) and Rien! Dix années de gouvernement parlementaire (1862). He had become a member of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1840 and in 1843 grand cross of the Legion of Honour. The attitude of the comte de Chambord after 1870 led him to accept the republic, and he entered the Senate a year before his death, on January 4, 1880.
