High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Paul François Jean Nicolas, vicomte de Barras (30 June 1755 29 January 1829) was a French politician of the French Revolution, and the main executive leader of the Directory regime of 1795 1799. Descended from a noble family of Provence, he was born at Fox-Amphoux, in today's Var département. At the age of sixteen, he entered the regiment of Languedoc as a "gentleman cadet", but embarked for French India in 1776. After an eventful voyage, he reached Pondicherry and contributed to the defence of that city during the Second Anglo-Mysore War, a siege which ended in its surrender to Great Britain on 18 October 1778. On the release of the garrison, Barras returned to France. After taking part in a second expedition to the region in 1782-1783, he left the army and spent the following years in relative obscurity.
