He became a musician in the chapel of the Prince of Savoy-Carignan in 1730, a position he held twenty years. At the same time, he is admired by the Queen in 1733 and also between the royal chapel, where he remained until his pension in 1762. His merits as a violinist earned him the nickname "King of violinists" that is to say, director of Ménestrandise , then as unclaimed and will be deleted after him.
