Claude Le Peletier (1630-1711) was a prominent French statesman and a significant figure in the financial administration of France during the reign of King Louis XIV. Born into a family with a strong tradition of public service, Le Peletier's career was marked by his adept handling of the kingdom's finances, particularly during a period characterized by extensive military campaigns and the consequent fiscal pressures.

Le Peletier's most notable appointment was as the Controller-General of Finances, a position he held from 1683 to 1689. In this role, he succeeded Jean-Baptiste Colbert, one of the most influential ministers of Louis XIV. Le Peletier's tenure was marked by efforts to continue Colbert's policies of fiscal prudence and economic reform. He worked diligently to manage the kingdom's expenditures and sought to increase revenues through various means, including taxation and the improvement of administrative efficiency.

One of Le Peletier's significant contributions was his involvement in the reform of the French tax system. He aimed to make tax collection more efficient and equitable, addressing some of the systemic issues that plagued the financial administration of the time. His efforts were crucial in maintaining the financial stability of the French state during a period of considerable military expenditure, particularly during the War of the League of Augsburg (1688-1697).

In addition to his financial acumen, Claude Le Peletier was also known for his patronage of the arts and his contributions to the cultural life of France. His support for various artistic endeavors reflected the broader cultural policies of Louis XIV's reign, which sought to enhance the glory and prestige of the French monarchy through the promotion of the arts.

Le Peletier's legacy is that of a dedicated public servant who played a key role in the administration of France's finances during a critical period in the nation's history. His efforts to maintain fiscal stability and support for the arts left a lasting impact on the French state and its cultural heritage.
