He gained a degree in theology and on 21 Jun 1649 was appointed during the papacy of Pope Innocent X as Archbishop of Embrun. On 12 Sep 1649, he was consecrated bishop by Louis-Henri de Pardaillon de Gondrin, Archbishop of Sens, with Louis-Doni d'Attichy, Bishop of Riez, and Félix Vialart de Herse, Bishop of Chalons-sur-Marne, serving as co-consecrators.
