Eugène Panon Desbassayns de Richemont was born on 29 March 1800 in Paris. His father was Philippe Panon-Desbassayns de Richemont, Comte Desbassayns de Richemont, and his mother was Jeanne-Eglée Fulcrande Mourgue. He married Athénaïs-Claire-Joséphine-Grace on June 10, 1829 in Paris.[1] Their children were Jeanne Mathilde (1830-1832), Alexandre Pierre Philippe, third count of Richemont (1833-1912), Edgard Philippe (1835-1914), Naïs Jeanne Modeste Eugénie (1839-1878) and Jeanne Joséphine Grâce Céline Marie (1846-1913).

Eugène Desbassayns de Richemont was Governor General of Pondicherry in India between 1826 and 1828. He was the founder of the Lycée français de Pondichéry (Collège Royal) on 26 October 1826. In 1839, he donated 15,386 francs for the foundation of a leper colony near Coconut Island. The hospital was completed in 1844, and still exists.
