context_page_description: Louis François Perrin, comte de Précy, was a French nobleman and soldier who lead royalist forces during the Siege of Lyon.
context_section_description: By Imperial Decree on 30 November 1811, Précy was allowed to return to France, provided that he reside in Dijon. This return was facilitated on 10 June 1812. The couple enjoyed a quiet marriage and the birth of their daughter, and were later allowed to settle in Brionnais. The fall of the First Empire and the return of Louis XVIII led Précy to Paris to offer his services despite being 72 years old.
  He received a lieutenant-general's patent on 13 August 1814 and was appointed commander of the National Guard of Lyon. Précy took post and observed the weakness of the Guard but had little time to reform the body before the arrival of Napoleon in Cannes on 1 March 1814. Précy and the civil authorities intend to hinder Napoleon, but upon his arrival in Lyon he passed triumphantly across the Bridge of the Guillotière hailed by the troops of Lyon. When the Imperial Army occupied Paris, Précy was released under stipulation that he retire under supervision to Marcigny.
