He created an equestrian statue of Hubert Lyautey, the first French résident général in Morocco.[3] It was first displayed at what in 1938 was Place Lyautey (now Muhammad V Square), though the statue is now kept within the walls of the French consulate in Casablanca.[3]

He is credited, among other works, with the statue of Georges Clemenceau displayed on Champs Elysées.[3]
