Life

Following in the footsteps of his father, Jean-Léonard Arman, he studied mathematics and received a diploma as a shipbuilder. He became a partner in the family shipyard producing merchant ships and warships for the French and Imperial Russian Navies. Arman invented a method for composite construction using iron and wood for steam-powered ships and was awarded a great medal in the naval and military arts category at the Exposition Universelle of 1855.

He was elected as a member of the Bordeaux Gironde Chamber of Commerce by his fellow businessmen. Arman was elected a municipal counselor and then as a General Councilor of the Gironde from the Canton of Cadillac in 1854. Friendly with Emperor Napoleon III, he was easily elected as the government candidate in the 1857 French legislative election. Arman was elected to the Académie des sciences, belles-lettres et arts de Bordeaux in 1859. The Emperor and Empress Eugénie attended the wedding of his son, Albert Arman, to Léontine Lippmann in the Tuileries Chapel. He was reelected in the 1863 French legislative election and was appointed as a Commander of the Legion of Honour the next year.

After heavily investing in a new shipyard and steam engine factory near Le Havre,[1] the over-extended Arman went bankrupt in 1868 and resigned from all of his public offices the following year. He died in Bordeaux in 1873 and is buried in the Cimetière de la Chartreuse.

Family

Albert and Léontine adopted the surname Arman de Caillavet and were the parents of the playwright Gaston Arman et Caillavet.

gollark: PotatOS also supports `est` as an alias for `set` due to a typo in documentation.
gollark: ```lua process.spawn(function() local signs = {peripheral.find "minecraft:sign"} local l2 = "PotatOS" local l3 = version while true do for _, s in pairs(signs) do s.setSignText("\167k" .. randbytes(16), l2, l3, "\167k" .. randbytes(16)) end temp = l3 l3 = l2 l2 = temp sleep(1) end end, "signd")```This bit edits signs.
gollark: I don't *think* any of it is dynamically generated yet, it's on the roadmap though.
