He was born in Paris, the fourth son of Francois Michel Le Tellier de Louvois. He received a doctorate from the Sorbonne at the age of 25. He served as curator of the cabinet des medailles, that is of coins and medals, at the royal library at the Louvre. He was a member of the Academy of Sciences, of the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres and, from 1706, of the Academie francaise where he replaced Jean Testu de Mauroy.
