-
A French poet (1626-86). He was illegitimate son of a man of wealth, who gave him an excellent education and left him a large fortune. He owes his place in literary records to his good fortune in having been associated with the foremost literary men of his time,- Racine, Moliere, Boileau. He wrote some verses of indifferent merit; with Bachaumont he was joint author of "Travels in Provence and Languedoc" (1663), written in mixed prose and verse, a fashion which prevailed for a while in France.
