Le Train Bleu
In 1875, he enrolled at a vocational school (now known as the École Vaucanson) to learn his family's trade, as well as drawing. This was followed by military service, during which he showed off his works for the first time. Later, he was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he held several exhibitions at the Salon. In 1900, he was one of the artists who provided decorations for Le Train Bleu, a famous restaurant near the Gare de Lyon in Paris.
