Jean-Jacques Renouard, seigneur de Villayer was a member of the French Conseil d'État, which had been delegated special legal authorities by the absolutist reigning King Louis XIV. In 1653 as the tenant of the Paris City Post, Renouard de Villayer ordered letter boxes to be set up at different places in Paris. Letters, prepaid with a uniform postage of 1 sol. The receipts (billet de port payé), which were issued for this purpose and had to be attached to the letters as postage, are considered to be early precursors of the postage stamp. There are no examples still existing today. The so-called Petite Poste was an economic failure, but was later successfully imitated in other European cities (for example by the London Penny Post as of 1680). In 1659, Renouard de Villayer became a member of the French Academy, succeeding Abel Servien. In 1944, the family coat of arms of Renouard de Villayer was depicted on a commemorative stamp by the French post on the occasion of the Day of the Postage Stamp.
