Raimon was from Béziers, where he was a contemporary resident with Joan Esteve and Bernart d'Auriac. The poets of Béziers in that day were Gallicised heavily and supported the French over and against the native Occitan aristocracy. In this vein he wrote, in 1268, "Qui vol aver complida amistansa", a "canso" about Louis IX of France and his preparations for the Eighth Crusade. In 1270 he wrote "Ab grans trebalhs et ab grans marrimens", another "canso" and this time also a "planh" for Louis IX after his failed Crusade and death.
