editHe was part of Henry Murger's circle and an editor at the Polichinelle.
When he died, the paper Le Temps 8 November 1869 read:
M. Fernand Desnoyers died yesterday from consumption, of which he felt the first attacks in 1866. Mr. de Biéville, the theater critic of Le Siècle was his brother. Mr. Desnoyers had withdrawn from the world of letters in recent years. His poems, novels were quickly forgotten; Yet he held a position in public esteem and a better rank in the letters. His poems have been published in magazines, newspapers. He founded a publication that lasted five years, the Almanach parisien.[3]
