Biografía
Hijo de Joseph Louis Fillon (1787-1858), recaudador de impuestos, antiguo oficial del Primer Imperio Francés , y de Joséphine Joussemet, provenía de una familia de clase media baja en Fontenay-le-Comte . [ 3 ] Durante la Revolución Francesa , ella fue una de las participantes en la Guerra de Vendée .
Su padre era sobrino del coronel Louis Joseph Fillon, quien murió el 25 de mayo de 1793. El padre Ballard, diputado del clero de Poitou en 1789 y uno de los primeros sacerdotes en unirse al Tercer Estado antes de ocupar un escaño en la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente (Francia) , [ 4 ] era uno de sus tíos abuelos.
His law studies took him to Poitiers, then to Paris, where he began his research and collections, which would cover many fields: Gallic and Gallo-Roman archaeology, ceramics, the French Renaissance, French numismatics, local history, and more.
In 1841, Fillon began his first work at the Société des Antiquaires de l’Ouest (Western Antiquarian Society), becoming its quaestor in 1844 and then vice-president in 1846.
After graduating with a law degree on April 19, 1842, he was appointed deputy judge at the court of La Roche-sur-Yon that same year. A liberal, progressive, and loyal supporter of the Republic, he resigned from his position after the coup d'état of December 2, 1851.
In 1848, he was the Republican candidate for the Vendée department in the election for the Constituent National Assembly, but was not elected.[5]
