His mother, Nicole Marie Louise, came from a family from the Valais canton in Switzerland. At age six, Grandpré began school in Rennes. He left school at an early age to pursue his interest in sailing, later demonstrating his ability as a sailor in the war with England. In March 1781, while serving in Viceadmiral Pierre André de Suffren's fleet, he traveled from Brest to India, where the French engaged the British fleet. On November 29, 1783, he married Marie Thérèse de Jehannot Penquer (1762-1837) on the island of Mauritius. Slave tradeGrandpré, himself a former slave trader, described violent abuses of African slaves in his Voyage à la côte occidentale d'Afrique published in 1801. In 1787 alone, Grandpré traded 1500 slaves and witnessed "often many cruelties".[1]{{rp|204}} Later yearsGrandpré served in the Royal Navy for 15 years, after which lived his remaining life at the Hotel des Invalides in Paris. He died, destitute, on January 7, 1846.[3][4] Bibliography
