He studied at the Seminary of St. Brieuc and was ordained a priest in 1739. In 1741 he left for Canada with another priest, Abbé René-Jean Allenou de Lavillangevin, and the newly appointed bishop for <a href="/wiki/Quebec_City" title="Quebec City">Quebec City</a>, <a href="/wiki/Henri-Marie_Dubreil_de_Pontbriand" title="Henri-Marie Dubreil de Pontbriand">Henri-Marie Dubreil de Pontbriand</a> for whom Briand served as vicar-general. He ministered to the dying at the battle of St. Foy (1760), and after the bishop's death was appointed administrator of the diocese which then included Acadia, Louisiana, and Illinois.<sup id="cite_ref-Lindsay_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lindsay-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the aftermath of the <a href="/wiki/French_and_Indian_War" title="French and Indian War">French and Indian War</a>, when many colonists abandoned the country, Briand foresaw that a change of allegiance was inevitable. The Prefect of the Propaganda, Cardinal Castelli advised the Canadian clergy "to forget that they were French".<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His predecessor, Bishop Pontbriand, reiterated the principle that Christians should accord princes the respect and obedience which is their due (Romans 13:1-7). Briand was able to diplomatically adapt to the new regime and so managed to maintain the rights of the Church without causing a confrontation with the authorities. When the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Paris_(1763)" title="Treaty of Paris (1763)">Treaty of Paris</a> was signed in 1763, he ordered a <i><a href="/wiki/Te_Deum" title="Te Deum">Te Deum</a></i> for the cessation of the Seven Years' War and praised General Murray for his humanity towards the conquered.

However, he did not get involved beyond that, choosing not to engage in ecclesiastical matters outside his jurisdiction, so the priests remained free to manage their ministries and property.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Briand's efforts contributed to the 1774 passage of the <a href="/wiki/Quebec_Act" title="Quebec Act">Quebec Act</a>. The Act guaranteed free practice of the Catholic faith and removing mention of the Protestant faith from the oath of allegiance.
