He is the author of numerous papers on the history of Lyonnais families. In his bibliographie généalogique (II, 28348) lists the following work written in collaboration with H. de Charpin-Feugerolles: Recueil de documents pour servir à l'Histoire de l'ancien gouvernement de Lyon, contenant des notices chronologiques et généalogiques sur les familles nobles... Lyon, Perrin, 1854. He comments: ''Only the first part has been published, containing the bishops and archbishops of Lyon (...). Lyon.(...) The other parts were to include aldermen, intendants, governors, clergy, magistrates and magistracy and famous people.'' The coats of arms were probably painted by Lyon historian André Steyert (Lyon 1830-1904). ''His talents as a draughtsman led him to be employed by magazines such as l'Illustration, but his life was one of drudgery. He enriched his life by frequenting scholars at the bookseller Auguste Brun, at no. 13 rue du Plat, who asked him to draw coats-of-arms to draw coats of arms, write notices and thus become a heraldist, with the help of Louis Morel de Voleine and Jean Vital de Valous.''
