Nicole Robinet de La Serve

Jean-Pierre-François Nicole Robinet de La Serve (1791, Isle Bourbon – 20 December 1842, Salazie) was a French journalist, lawyer and politician.

After La Réunion was captured by the British, he went to Paris, where he also fought in the defence of the city.

Chevassut was a remote relative, whose daughter he married, and who allowed him to join the Constitutionnel.

Constantly opposed to governor Étienne-Henri Mengin du Val d'Ailly, he obtained the creation of an elected body, the conseil colonial de Bourbon (colonial Council of Bourbon).

[2] Auguste Lacaussade was one of his familiars during his youth, soon before La Serve died, and dedicated of the poems of Poèmes et paysages to him.
