His childhood in the Valois left a mark on his literary works as well as his travels in Europe and the East. Friend of Théophile Gautier, he rubs shoulders with the great figures of Romanticism. From 1841, his hallucinations and his fits of madness inspire his writings but also lead him to end his life.
