He then went to Paris where he attended first the Académie Julian circa 1900, and then the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. A very frequent traveller, he stayed in Saint-Tropez, visited Bucharest where he was invited by his friend and mecene the ambassador René de Weck, then in Venice, before he finally came back to Fribourg. He was then a teacher at the Ecole des arts et métiers, where he had Gaston Thévoz as a student.
