Schüler von Paul Blanchard in Lyon. Im Jahre 1896 machte er sich in
Lyon selbständig und verlegte seine Werkstatt am 1. April 1897 nach Marseille,
wo er M. Richelmes Nachfolger wurde. Er baut nach Stradivari, Guarneri
und Amati und ist als Reparateur geschätzt. Sein Lack (fetter Öllack) ist
nach dem Recept J. B. Vuillaumes zusammengesetzt. Auf seinem Zettel ist
u. A. das Wappen von Marseille angebracht.
