On returning from military service, he settled at the Château de la Périvoye, from where he managed an agricultural estate. A justice of the peace for the canton from 1828 to 1832, he developed an interest in photography from 1845 onwards, using the calotype process in the early 1850s to document parts of Haute-Provence. He travelled to Ger- many and Italy in the 1860s, from where he brought back a sub- stantial body of work. (Bibl.
