Hallé was among those who pleaded for Lavoisier before the Tribunal of the Convention. He had qualified in 1778 at the Faculté de Médecine, Paris, and was a Member of the newly formed 'Sociéte de Médecine'. In 1794 he was appointed professor of hygiene, and was later physician to Napoleon I, and afterwards to Louis XVII and elected a Member of the Institut.
