He was a member of the Catholic clergy and rector of the village of Ursy, and was appointed chaplain of La Superbe, a galley where Protestant prisoners were detained. Bion, touched by their patience, embraced their doctrines, went to Geneva in 1704, then to England, where he was placed in charge of a school. He left this position in order to become chaplain of an English church in Holland. The date of his death is not known.
