He is the son of Jean Heymès, captain of the 7th Foot Artillery Regiment, killed at the Battle of Neerwinden, and Marie-Louise Capet.

Entered the army at the age of 15, he made the campaigns of the French Revolution to the armies of Moselle, Sambre, North, West, Rhine and Holland. In 1802, he left with the expedition of Santo Domingo. Being still a lieutenant, he was taken prisoner by the English, then escaped from Jamaica and embarked in New York, from where he managed to return to France to resume his duties as a lieutenant in his regiment in Strasbourg. . He made the campaigns of Tyrol, Prussia, Poland, and in 1808, of Spain, with the 6th corps and under the orders of Marshal Ney.

He then went to Portugal with Soult and was promoted in 1809 to the rank of captain of the 5th regiment of horse artillery.

In 1810 he was employed at the Mutzig (Bas-Rhin) arms factory. In 1812 he made the campaign of Russia. Ney tied him as aide-de-camp at the Smolensk retreat and soon appointed him squadron commander, colonel and first aide-de-camp. In this capacity he makes the campaigns of 1813 and 1814.
At the first Restoration, Colonel Heymès was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff of the Prince of Moskowa, commander of the Royal Cavalry. He followed him during the Hundred Days and charged to his side at Waterloo. He is retired after the return of the Bourbons.

Colonel Heymes saw retired until 1830. On July 28, he was in Paris, mingling with the insurrection; on the 29th, he removes the 5th and 53rd infantry regiments in battle on the Place Vendome and leads them into the ranks of the insurgents. On the 30th, he accompanies the Duke of Orleans when he goes to the night of Neuilly at the Palais Royal.

The new king, Heymes, is named his aide-de-camp. He was promoted to Marshal of the camp on December 11, 1830, Commander of the Legion of Honor on April 20, 1831 and Lieutenant-General on August 24, 1838.

He died in 1842, at the age of 65, and is buried in the cemetery of Auteuil.
