b. 1808, at Mirecourt. Went to Paris in 1838, where he worked for some months under D. Peccate ; then went to the workshop of J. B. Vuillaume and remained there till, in 1845, he started his own business. On Peccate's retirement, in 1847, Simon succeeded to his business in the rue d'Angivilliers. He was in partnership with Henry, 1848-51, and afterwards continued his work alone, moving later to rue Saint-Denis, passage Lemoine. He made most excellent bows, and generally marked them with "Simon, Paris," near the nut. He died 1882.
