Restorations
François-Lazare Thomassin de Saint-Paul (c. 1683-1734) belonged to an old noble family from Provence, established around Saint-Paul-lès-Durance. An officer in the king's service during the reign of Louis XIV, he made a career in the infantry and became colonel of a regiment that bore his name, as was customary in the French army under the Ancien Régime. The "Saint-Paul regiment" is mentioned in particular during the War of Spanish Succession in the early XVIIIᵉ century.
