A French poet (1775-1851); born at Blanquefort. His light comedies and vaudevilles gave delight on every stage with their sparkle of wit and their lively dialogue. Of his many pieces, "The Military Prison" is esteemed the best. "Informers", a satiric poem, and "The Art of Poetry", are works of great merit.
