He created an equestrian statue of the first French résident général in Morocco, Hubert Lyautey.[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 also created, among other works, the statue of Georges Clemenceau displayed on Champs Elysées.[3]
