Son of the actor François Juvenon, known as La Fleur, La Thuillerie embarked on a career in comedy at the age of sixteen, in 1666. On 27 April 1672, he married Louise-Catherine, daughter of the actor Raymond Poisson, known as Belleroche. An actor with a sulphurous reputation, he played at the Hôtel de Bourgogne and was a member of the first troupe of the Comédie-Française.
