Biography: Camille Perrichon, born on February 8, 1678 in Lyon and died on May 7, 1768 in Lyon, was a Lyonnais politician and member of the Academy of Sciences, Literature, and Arts of Lyon. Admitted to the Order of Saint-Michel in 1720 according to the almanacs, where he is mentioned from 1722 to 1769. Another member of this family was named in the order in 1727.
The armorial of bibliophiles from Lyon, Forez, Beaujolais, and Dombes by W. Poidebard, J. Baudrier, and L. Galle, in Lyon at the headquarters of the Société Maison Palais Royal, No. 2, rue du Plat MDCCCCVII, provides the following biography:
Born in 1678, knight, secretary of the city of Lyon, provost of the merchants and commander of the said city in the absence of Monseigneur the Duke of Villeroy, from 1730 to 1739, knight of the king's order, ordinary councilor of state, member of the Academy of Fine Arts of Lyon, married on April 10, 1701, contract received by Delalay, notary, to Suzanne Ollivier, daughter of David Ollivier, former alderman, and Françoise Arezon. From this union he had: 1) Françoise, married on February 15, 1721, contract received by Perrin, to Christophe de la Frasse, councilor at the presidial and chief of police in Lyon, son of Claude de la Frasse, treasurer of France, lord of Seynas, and Marie Ravachol; 2) Françoise-Suzanne, baptized at Saint-Saturnin on October 3, 1702, married on March 4, 1719, contract received by Perrin, to Antoine-Joseph Boesse, knight of Saint-Louis, captain in the Lyonnais regiment, son of the late Christophe Boesse, knight, treasurer of France, and Catherine Pecoil; 3) David, baptized on January 21, 1703; 4) Suzanne, baptized on January 16, 1706.
Michon, author of the Journal de Lyon that one would do well to consult about Camille Perrichon, expresses his nomination as provost of the merchants as follows: "The nomination of Mr. Perrichon surprised no one and it was quite publicly said that if Mr. Dugas was not continued as provost of the merchants it would be him who would fill this position. He deserved it due to his intimate attachment for several years to Marshal de Villeroy and all his household, his understanding of the City's affairs, his care and application to manage them, and it was natural that the marshal, his master, showed him affection and gratitude. This is also all Mr. Perrichon could hope for, who should consider this position as the limit of his ambition and that of all other citizens who, like him, were born in a very modest state of fortune and birth." It should be added that Camille Perrichon, during his long provostship, attracted a lot of animosity and was very unpopular. Nevertheless, his administration was skillful and very profitable for Lyon, which he embellished, and for the silk trade that he helped develop. Rousseau, in his Confessions, expresses himself about him: "I met again the noble and generous Perrichon, and it was not without feeling his usual magnificence, as he even gave me a gift he had previously given to the kind Bernard, defraying my costs for my place on the stagecoach." He was buried on May 7, 1768, at the parish of Saint-Saturnin, at the age of 90, having "spent the days of an honorable old age in the enjoyment of rest and public esteem," says Bollioud-Mermets.
