Born in Lyon, the son of a merchant of musical instruments, he began studying music and piano in his hometown. In 1831, he went to study at the Conservatoire de Paris,[1] but interrupted his studies to work for Sébastien Érard as piano demonstrator, a job that he held for more than thirty years.[1]
Quidant wrote mainly salon music, which became popular during his time. His pupils include Conrad Ansorge, Arthur de Greef, and Emil von Sauer.[2]
He died in Paris.[3]
Quidant had a son named R. Alfred Quidant (1856–1933).[4]
