Life Courvoisier may have been born in Mons."Biographie Montoise", Mémoires et publications de la Société des Sciences, des Arts et des Lettres du Hainaut (Mons, 1844), pp. 141-142. He entered the Minims in Burgundy but was transferred to the Low Countries in 1617 when a new province of the order was established there. He served as head of the Belgian province from 1635 to 1638. On 21 June 1644 the general chapter divided the Belgian province into Flemish and Walloon provinces, with the houses of Antwerp, Brussels, Geraardsbergen and Leuven going to the one, and Anderlecht, Douai, Liège, Lille and Mons to the other. Couvoisier served as head of the Walloon province from September 1650 until his death, in Anderlecht, on 1 April 1652.
