He founded the town's French High School (at this time called Royal High School) on October 26, 1826 as well as numerous charity workshops .
 
After the end of his mandate , notably in 1839 , Viscount Desbassayns de Richemont , donated 15386 Francs to the colony for the foundation of a leper colony . It is then necessary to build a special hospice , and the administration cedes a ground located near the island of the Coconut Palms . The leper colony was completed in 1844 . Its results are still relevant today .
