His See also:mother, See also:Marie See also:Catherine de Beauveau Craon, was the See also:mistress of Stanislas Leszczynski, and the boy was brought up at the See also:court of See also:Luneville. He spent six months in study for the priesthood at See also:Saint Sulpice, See also:Paris, and during his See also:residence there he put in circulation a See also:story which became extremely popular, Aline, reine de Golconde.

After serving in various See also:campaigns he reached the grade of marechal de See also:camp in 1784, and in the next See also:year was sent to See also:West See also:Africa as See also:governor of See also:Senegal.
