Charles de Vintimille (2 September 1741 – 24 February 1814), marquis du Luc, was a French aristocrat and governor.

[1] After the death of his mother, Charles de Vintimille was raised by his aunt Louise Julie de Mailly until the baptism of December 19, 1742, in the castle of the legitimate father Jean Baptiste de Vintimille, in Savigny-sur-Orge.

[2] His father's mistress Madame de Pompadour wished to arrange a marriage between Charles de Vintimille and her daughter Alexandrine Le Normant d'Étiolles, but the king would not allow it.

He made a career in the royal regiment in Corsica, where he became a captain, lieutenant and governor of Porquerolles (1759), and later a Maréchal de camp (1780) and a knight of the Order of Saint Louis.

He married Adélaïde de Castellane (1746-1770) in 1764, with whom he had three children.
