Life
He was promoted to Maréchal de camp in 1781 and was transferred from 1783 to 1790 to the post of Colonel général des Dragons .
In 1789 he sat before the estates of the Touraine province . The aristocracy of this Ballei had elected him on March 28, 1789 as their representative at the Estates General. He was among those who joined the Third Estate on June 25 and voted with a majority in votes. In 1790 he gave up his post as Colonel General of the Dragoons and asked the generals to swear allegiance to the officials of the National Assembly.
Despite his titles and his great fortune, he did not emigrate and instead retired to his castle in Dampierre in 1792 , where he lived far from politics until the coup d'état of 18th Brumaire VIII . In 1793 he was reported anonymously to the Committee of the National Convention for stolen goods. Due to a lack of evidence and due to his high reputation, the allegations were quickly dropped.
On the 29th Ventôse of the year VIII (March 20, 1800) he became a member of the General Council of the Seine department and later (November 25, 1800) mayor of the 9th arrondissement of Paris. He was appointed a member of the French Senate on September 1, 1803 .
