On 24 October 1878 he became a lecturer, with the title of substitute teacher, having the duties of a professor of mathematics at the lycée de Toulouse. On 6 September 1879 he became a professor of mathematics at the lycée de Pau. On 10 September 1881 he became a professor of mathematics at the lycée de Nantes. On 30 August 1889 he became a professor of mathematics at the lycée de Marseille and taught preparatory classes for the École centrale de Marseille. On 1 January 1915 he became a professor of mathématiques spéciales at the lycée de Nice and retired there in 1918.
