He was the cousin of Jacques-Pierre Gisors (1755–1818) and the uncle of Alphonse de Gisors (1796–1866), and collaborated with Jacques-Pierre on the design of the assembly hall for the Conseil des Cinq-Cents in the Palais-Bourbon (1795–1797).

He participated in the planning of Napoléonville in 1808 and in about 1810 took over the ongoing designs for the Piazza del Popolo in Rome, succeeding Giuseppe Valadier and adhering to Valadier's grand plan.
