From 1868-1875 he served as Guard General of Water and Forests in Dijon, then in Mende, after which he was named sub-inspector, then inspector, at Alès. As Gard's reforestation director until 1900, his major achievement was the development of the ''Forêt Domaniale de l'Aigoual'' and establishment of the meteorological observatory on its summit. In 1900 he was appointed curator of Forestry in Nîmes, which post he held until his retirement in 1909.
