Studied medicine in Nantes and Paris, where he practised until 1885. Senator for the Var from 1902 to 1920. He was twice President of the Council. After the war, he negotiated the Treaty of Versailles and supported the dismantling of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1920, he was defeated by Deschanel because of his intransigence and anti-clericalism, so he retired from politics and wrote. Académie française in 1918.
