Originally intended for the Bar he abandoned this career for that of marines. Aide-de-camp to Chevert in 1754, he was secretary to the Ambassador in London and then Captain of Dragoons and Colonel under Montcalm in Canada. After the peace of 1763 he entered the Navy and founded a dépôt in the Falkland Islands in collaboration with the ship builders of St. Malo. In the course of a voyage round the world effected in 1766-69, he eplored the Pomotu Islands, Tahiti, the Hamoa Islands which he called Iles des Navigateurs, the large Cyclades later known as New Hebrides, the Salomon Islands Archipelago, a part of New Ireland and New Guinea. During the War of American Independence he commanded a division of the Comte de Grasse. Promoted to Chef d'escadre in 1779, then to Maréchal de Camp in 1780 he was given command of the fleet at Brest in 1790. Member of the Institute in the section geography, and of the Bureau des Longitudein 1796, he was created a Senator and Comte de l'Empire. The account of his world voyage, Voyage autour du monde, published in 1771 (in quarto) and in 1772 (in octavo), enjoyed enormous success, this being the first such voyage to have been effected b
