He studied medicine in Reims and in 1744 entered the Collège de Médecine d'Orléans where he undertook research with François Salerne (1705–1760). He was charged by the Généralité d'Orléans with preventing and fighting epidemic disease and became a Correspondant of the Société royale de Médecine shortly after its foundation. Aside from medicine he was interested in music and natural history.
