From 1758 to 1761 he travelled through Italy, and on his return to France was admitted into the chapel royal. In 1763 he was chosen by the dauphin, father of Louis XVI., as his violin master, and continued to take lessons till his death in 1765. In 1770 Haranc obtained the position of first violin to the King, and in 1775 was nominated director of the concerts.
