He was married twice, on the one hand to Marie-Madeleine Lormeau (1758–1807) from 1781, on the other hand from 1818 to Étiennette-Élisabeth-Jeanne-Athénaïs-Ursule de Picot de la Motte (* 1785), the only daughter of Bernard- François-Bertrand, marquis de Picot de la Motte (1734–1797); from both marriages he had a total of six children.

In 1807 he moved to Paris, where he later became head of administration of the Asile royale de la Providence from 1830.
