French journalist, essayist and theatre manager

Jean-Pierre-Louis de Luchet (1740–1792), also known as the Marquis de La Roche du Maine, or Marquis de Luchet, was a French journalist, essayist, and theatre manager.

Life

Luchet held salons under the name of Marquis de La Roche, and was part of the Garde ordinaire du Roi, where he met André-Robert Andréa de Nerciat, who joined in 1771. Thereafter, he took the name of Jean-Pierre Luchet, Knight of St Louis. With Neciat he shone at the court of Frederick II. Neciat, attracted to the court of Hesse-Cassel by Luchet, who sought new parts for the Landgrave, towards the end of 1779 he proposed that Luchet did a comic opera, Constance ou l'heureuse témérité, which is preserved at the Stuttgart Library.

Theories

In 1789, de Luchet published his Essai sur la Secte des Illuminés, in which he denounced the leaders of the Bavarian Illuminati, whom he accused of controlling Freemasonry, generally in Europe, and specifically in France.
