Biography
Son of Antoine Catherine Alphonse de Tinseau, owner and Luce Christine Antoinette de Thy,
 he belongs to a Franche-Comté family ennobled in 1568.

After his studies in law, Léon de Tinseau first embraced, under the Second Empire, an administrative career.
 He was appointed sub-prefect of Guingamp (Côtes-du-Nord) on August 23, 1871; of Saint-Jean-d'Angély (Charente-Inférieure) on August 23, 1873; of Nontron (Dordogne) on February 22, 1877; of Mortain (Manche) on December 30, 1877; and Châteaudun (Eure-et-Loir) on July 25, 1878. 
He left the prefectural career in this position, giving up his duties in January 1880.

He then entered the following year on the board of directors of the Messageries fluviales de Cochinchine 
of which he was president for a time. He is also the founder of the Messageries fluviales de Cochinchine 
Jules Rueff (1853-1907) who gave him the insignia of Knight of the Legion of Honor (obtained by decree of December 14, 1900) on January 18, 1901.

At the same time Tinseau began a career as a writer, publishing his first novel in 1882.
 This aristocrat was a socialite Parisian novelist who had a certain success. He assiduously frequented literary circles and published almost all of his works (about forty novels and short stories and two travelogues) with the publisher Calmann-Lévy.

He also collaborated with major literary journals (La Nouvelle Revue, Le Correspondant, La Revue Bleue and L'Illustration) and was a great traveller.

He died at his home at 21 rue de Vienne, and was buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery.
