He also took part in the decorative schemes for the Maison pompéïenne at 16-18 Avenue Montaigne in Paris,[3] the hôtel Granger, the hôtel Pereire, the hôtel du duc de Galliera, comte Murat's château and the Palais des Études of the École des beaux-arts de Paris between 1854 and 1855 and at the musée d'Amiens (now the Musée de Picardie).
