His first work 'Traite de l'education des filles' was written whilst he was working as the director of a Parisian community for young Huguenot girls who were joining the Church of Rome. The work brought him global attention. In 1685 he was chosen to join a group of orators to go to the regions of France with the highest number of Huguenots to try and persuade them about the errors of Protestantism. Later in his life Fenelon became the Archbishop of Cambrai during which time he wrote a series of anti-Jansenist works. He was also acting as the spiritual director for Madame de Maintenon despite being confined to his archdiocese.
