When he died, coming out of a tavern, the priest of Saint-Sulpice refused the funeral service and Champmeslé was buried in the garden of his house in Asnières. Champmeslé also wrote less than a dozen theatre plays, including some in collaboration with Jean de La Fontaine. He wrote several comedies such as: Les Grisettes, 3 acts ; Les Grissettes ou Crispin chevalier, 1 act ; Le Florentin ; La Coupe enchantée ; these two last plays he composed in association with Jean de La Fontaine.His Œuvres were collected in 1696.
