He was educated at the collège of Château-Thierry. He wrote several books include: Contes et nouvelles en vers (Ribaldry), La Fontaine's Fables (play), The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Wolf and the Lamb (Fable), The Heron and the Fish (Fable), The Fox and the Billy Goat (Fable), The Fox and the Stork (Fable), The Two Pots (Fable), The Animals Stricken with The Plague, The Eagle and the Beetle (Fable), and The Eagle Wounded by an Arrow.
