Passionate about insects from a young age and through the intervention of Georges Cuvier, he participated in the Morea expedition organised by Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent in 1829.

The following year he became an aide-naturaliste (assistant naturalist) to Jean Victoire Audouin in charge of Crustacea, Arachnida and insects.

He also wrote the introduction, parts of the text of Histoire naturelle des insectes coléoptères (published in 1840) with Francis de Laporte de Castelnau and parts of Histoire naturelle des insectes.
