Launched in 1878, the vessel was armed with two 340 mm (13 in) mounted in a single turret that was protected with armor that was 300 mm (11.8 in) thick as well as having an armored Belt between 250 and 340 mm (9.8 and 13.4 in) thick. The ship had a generally uneventful career, spending most of her career in reserve, except a year as part of the Escadre d'evolutions between 1884 and 1885, where she served alongside the faster and deeper-draft ironclad Tonnerre, and 1889, where she particiated in a military exercise, successfully defending Cherbourg alongside fellow ironclad Tonnant. In 1906, the ship was struck and sold to be broken up.
