Grand Minister to Louis XV, Louis Phélypeaux (1705-1777) was titled Comte de Saint-Florentin, then Duc de La Vrillière (1770). Secretary of State from 1723, in succession to his father, he inspired a confidence in Louis XV that never wavered: from 1725 to 1775, he was in charge of the Secretary of State for the King's Household, first in common with his cousin Maurepas, then in his entirety after the latter's disgrace (1749). From 1751, he sat on the King's Council as Minister of State, and on d'Argenson's disgrace (1757) took over the administration of the city of Paris, which had been temporarily detached from the Secretariat of State of the King's Household. The physicist Deshayes had dedicated to him his earlier work entitled "Essai de Physique sur le système du Monde", published in 1772.
