Christophe de Beaumont

Christophe de Beaumont du Repaire (1703–1781), French ecclesiastic and archbishop of Paris, is a cadet of the Les Adrets and Saint-Quentin branch of the illustrious Dauphin family of Beaumont.

He becomes bishop of Bayonne in 1741, then archbishop of Vienne in 1745, and in 1746, at the age of forty-three, archbishop of Paris.

An austere man with no wish for glory, he had had to be summoned three times by Louis XV before he would leave his diocese of Vienne and move to Paris.
