After receiving his diploma, he liberated himself from the city and escaped to his Atelier and home in the countryside in Plouër-sur-Rance. From there, he accomplished his monumental works in copper, grès d'Erquy, pink granite, brass, aluminum and many bronzes. He sculpted the face of Marianne, a bronze measuring over a meter ten, which was commissioned by Étienne Pinte, the mayor of Versailles, for the great marriage hall in the city hall. His trophies were given for equestrian contests in Dinard and the Races at Branlebas. Certain of his objects were edited by Daum and by la Monnaie de Paris. His jewelry evokes an mythology both ancient and abstract.
