Biography

His plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of his time including the Théâtre des Variétés, the Théâtre des Nouveautés, and the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique. His novel Le Commissionnaire is sometimes attributed to George Sand and Jules Sandeau who allegedly used his name for promotion.

He was killed in a duel against a military after an altercation at the Théâtre italien de Paris.
