An advocate of the parlement of Brittany elected to the Legislative Assembly for Ille-et-Vilaine, Gohier reported on the sequestration of émigré property and on the papers of the civil list, which were afterwards used at Louis XVI’s trial. He was minister of justice from March 1793 until the ministries were replaced by executive commissions a year later, and subsequently sat as a judge of the court of cassation. Elected to the Directory in June 1799 in place of Treilhard, he was in office at Brumaire and was confined at the Luxembourg while the coup was carried through. He was French consul at Amsterdam from 1802 until the annexation of Holland, then retired to Eaubonne, where he wrote his memoirs. He died in 1830.
