On 12 December 1700, he welcomed and made the corresponding obeisances to the new sovereign Philip V of Spain at the Spanish-French border and accompanied the new King on his travel to Madrid. He became a trusted man of Philip V and followed him during his travels in Catalonia and Italy.
At the end of 1711, the King elected him Ambassadeur extraordinaire and first Plenipotentiary for the Congress of Utrecht. He traveled to Utrecht and accompanied by the Duke of Berwick and the Marquis of Monteleón, he signed the Treaty of Utrecht on 13 July 1713.
