Life

Beulé attended the École normal supérieure , was appointed teacher at the Lycée von Moulins in 1848 and was sent a year later to the École française d'Athènes , where he made important discoveries at the Acropolis that made him known in the professional world. Returned to France, Desiré-Raoul Rochette took over the chair of archeology , undertook excavations in Carthage and was admitted to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 1860 and was made Secrétaire perpétuel of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1862 .

After Adolphe Thiers had to resign in May 1873, Beulé was accepted into the government under Patrice de Mac-Mahon and appointed Minister of the Interior. However, due to a number of political errors, he had to resign in November 1873.
