He was born at Mirecourt. After the revolution of February 1848 he was elected deputy for the department of the Vosges, and in the Assembly sat on the right, pronouncing for the repression of the insurrection of June 1848 and for Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. He was minister of agriculture from August to December 1849 and from August to October 1851.

He was president of the National Assembly from April 4, 1872 to March 10, 1875, minister of the interior in 1875, and Prime Minister of France from 1875 to 1876.
