His father's father was also named Jean-Jacques Ampère (executed in Lyon, 1793). He studied the folk songs and popular poetry of the Scandinavian countries in an extended tour in northern Europe.
Jean-Jacques Ampère (12 August 1800 – 27 March 1864) was a French philologist and man of letters. Born in Lyon, he was the only son of the physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836).
Returning to France in 1830, he delivered a series of lectures on Scandinavian and early German poetry at the Athenaeum in Marseille.
This bore fruit in his Voyage dantesque (printed in his Grèce, Rome et Dante, 1848), which did much to popularize the study of Dante in France. In 1848 he became a member of the Académie française, and in 1851 he visited America.

From this time he was occupied with his chief work, L'Histoire romaine à Rome (4 vols., 1861–1864), until his death at Pau. The Correspondence et souvenirs (2 vols.) of A-M and J-J Ampère (1805–1854) was published in 1875.
