He was the son of the geographer Ambroise Tardieu . Unlike his brother Amédée Tardieu , who was born two years later , he did not follow in his father's footsteps.

As a coroner, Tardieu handled 5,238 cases. In his 23-year career, Tardieu has written books on abortion, drowning, strangulation, insanity, poisoning and asphyxiation. He was also interested in the judicial usability of handwritten admission of mentally ill people. He also attached great importance to the images of these patients. He published his findings in his book Etude Médico-Légale sur la folie . Furthermore, like all of his contemporaries, he took the view that homosexuality was a disease or even a crime and described the six diagnostic pieces of evidence, such as oversized buttocks, anal fistulas, overstretched sphincter, and the like. a. Tardieu also did research on child mortality and therefore weighed 4,104 infants. He published the results under the title Etude Médico-Légale sur l'infanticide .

Tardieu also worked as a coroner with the chemist François-Zacharie Roussin . With this he also wrote three books. In addition, the two had a lasting friendship in private.
