About Adam Billaut
- Adam Billaut (31 January 1602 – 18 May 1662) was a French carpenter, poet and singer.
- Nicknamed "the Virgil of rabot" he is considered one of the first poet-workers. Billaut divided his time between Paris, where he met Antoine Girard de Saint-Amant, Guillaume Colletet, Paul Scarron and Michel de Marolles, and Nevers, where he married Catherine Fox in 1630.
- He received patronage from Marie Louise Gonzaga and the Prince of Condé, and he was also pensioned by Cardinal Richelieu. He wrote a number of books, including Les Chevilles, which enjoyed some critical success when it was published in 1644, Le Vilebrequin, published posthumously in 1663, and Le Rabot, which was never printed.
