He became friends with the sculptor Jean Boucher (1870-1939). He studied the Byzantine monuments of Mistra and Mount Athos as part of the study of architecture and painting in Greece in the 14th and 15th centuries with the help of Henri Eustache, Sophie Millet and Pierre Roumpos. He took over the management of the Rennes School of Fine Arts from 1917 to 1921, and the management of the Rennes Museum of Fine Arts from 1931 to 1935. Jules Ronsin exhibited at the Salon des artistes français from 1894 to 1934. He lived at 30, rue Hoche in Rennes. The towns of Rennes (in 1966) and Châteaugiron gave their name to a street.
