He practised medicine in Varennes and served on the village council. In 1845, he married Françoise Duchesnois. He was defeated by Alexandre-Édouard Kierzkowski when he ran for a seat in the assembly in 1861 but was declared elected in 1863 after that election was declared invalid; he did not run for reelection later that same year.

He died in Varennes at the age of 75.
