Destined to succeed his father, he nevertheless left his home for Paris when he was 12, and ended up in the Bicêtre Prison.  He was released at the coronation of Louis XVI of France in 1774, but in 1776, after the death of his parents, Méhée was again imprisoned in the Bicêtre.  He escaped when he was sent to Brest to serve on the French fleet.  He returned to Paris after the French Revolution, and was sent to Saint Petersburg as a spy under the name "Chevalier de La Touche" by Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau and Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette.  He was soon uncovered and was sent out of Russia in March 1791.  His next appointment as a spy was in Poland, where he established the "Gazette de Varsovie", a French newspaper in Warsaw.  Again his role as a spy was discovered, and he was banished from Poland as well.
