He held various positions in the [[Maison du Roi|royal household]] and became Intendant of the [[Menus Plaisirs]] around 1655.<ref name=Beresford>Beresford 1996.</ref>
== Ancestry, name, and early career ==
Louis Hesselin was born in Paris in the early days of February 1662 to a family of [[magistrates]], originally from the [[Marne (department)|Marne]], but living in Paris for several generations.<ref name=Weill/> His father was Pierre Cauchon, Seigneur de Condé, and an [[auditor]] of the [[Chambre des Comptes]]. His mother was Elisabeth (or Isabelle) Morin. His father, who died sometime between 1609 and 1614, was the son of Thierry Cauchon and his second wife, Madeleine Brulart, daughter of Noël Brulart, ''procureur général au [[parlement]]''. The first wife of Thierry Cauchon was Madeleine Hesselin, daughter of Paris, ''maître des comptes''. Elisabeth Morin was the daughter of Mathurin Morin, Seigneur de la Planchette en Brie, and Marie Hesselin, sister of Madeleine Hesselin. Their brother, Louis Hesselin, never married, treated his grandnephew like a son, and by his [[will and testament]], dated 18 August 1620, left him his entire fortune, provided he change his name to Louis Hesselin. The latter signed his name Louis Hesselin as early as 1623 and regularised the change by ''[[lettres patentes]]'', registered with ''parlement'' on 19 December 1626. Not long after, Louis Hesselin obtained the office of ''maître de la chambre aux deniers'' [Master of the Chamber of Funds]. In 1634 and 1638 he is recorded as ''conseiller du roi en ses conseils'' and ''maître d'hôtel ordinaire du roi'', as well as ''maître de la chambre aux deniers''.<ref>[https://ift.tt/3ckanci Crèvecœur 1885, pp. 2–3].</ref>
==Trips to Italy==
Louis Hesselin took at least two exended trips to Italy in the 1630s: one in 1632–1633 and another in 1637. While there he may have taken the opportunity to acquire a large number of books, paintings, and [[objets d'art]], documented much later in an inventory made after his death.<ref name=Weill/>
