He was a pupil of Carissimi in Rome, and he also visited Portugal and England (1675–9). He was in France in 1672. He married the harpsichordist Marie-Anne Cambert (b Paris, c1647; d La Tronche, nr Grenoble, 30 April 1724), the daughter of Robert Cambert. He went with her to Madrid in 1679 as a member of a group of performers led by Henry Guichard and became superintendent of music and ballets to the Spanish queen (Marie-Louise, daughter of the Duke of Orléans). On his return to France he bought a position as violinist at the court of Louis XIV at Versailles in 1688, but in 1689 he retired to Grenoble, where he became maître de chapelle to the nuns at the convent at Montfleury, and directed concerts at the abbey of Ste Cécile. On 14 August 1692 he was installed as contrôleur alternatif du payeur des gages des officiers du Parlement du Dauphiné, a post which he sold on 9 May 1726."
