A former musketeer in the King’s Ordinary Guard, he was appointed captain of cavalry on 10 March 1760, colonel in the French Grenadiers’ Corps on 1 January 1770, and Knight of Saint Louis on 13 March 1771; second colonel of the Bresse Infantry Regiment in May 1776 (Gazette of the 24th), he was appointed field marshal in 1788. Elected deputy for the nobility of the Seneschalsy of Riom to the Estates-General on 25 March 1789, he resigned on 6 May 1790, he served as the princes’ agent at the court in Brussels and was entrusted with royalist missions for a year and a half until May 1792, when he left for Koblenz to join the Privy Council of the Count of Artois, for whom he served as adjutant-general. In Fribourg, Switzerland, he found himself at the head of one of the two squadrons formed by the nobility of Auvergne and the surrounding areas who had emigrated to Switzerland. In 1792, he was therefore the commander of the companies of the Auvergne nobility in the Army of the Princes, within the army of the Count of Artois, with whom the Prussians had allied themselves against France. These squadrons were disbanded in November 1792 in Liège. He took advantage of the amnesty of 1802 to return to France, regularised his status and was granted a certificate of amnesty on 27 August 1803.
