In 1634 he accompanied the Cardinal de Noailles to Rome and spent about two years in Italy. On his return to France he made many unsuccessful efforts to obtain the favour of Richelieu, but was obliged to retire to Toulouse. He never ceased to lament his exile See Also: - EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap,

The best of his poems is in imitation of Horace , " Alcippe, reviens dans nos bois." He died at Toulouse on the 23rd of December 1646. His works consist of odes, epigrams, songs and letters, and were published in 1646 by Maria le Roy de Gomberville.
