Education

He probably had a classical education in the south of France before going to England.
Career

Daudé travelled to London in order to join his father Jean Daudé and his maternal uncle Pierre Daudé senior, who was a leading figure in London's Huguenot community.
Daudé was a friend and correspondent of Pierre Des Maizeaux and was considered to be part of his coterie.
Daudé appears to have been a freethinker rather than a committed Protestant.
