    Desarbres N., Deux siècles à l'Opéra, 1868, p. 154 : "MILLON, fut de 1799 à 1820, avec P. Gardel, le plus fécond fournisseur de ballets de l'Opéra. Son dernier ouvrage, Clary, fut son plus grand succès."

  • Pitou
    Pitou 1715-1815, p. 364-5 : [Joins the Opera's school while child; 21 years old when he starts in the corps de ballet. His choréography is done alone and in collaboration with Pierre-Gabriel Gardel. Pygmalion, Ambigu, 1800, has a great success.] "Milon was a skilled dancer and choreographer and his confidence endowed him with impressive poise as a performer. His one handicap was his short stature, which diminished but did not destroy his eligibility for heroic roles…. He retired in 1821."
