He will live between the island of Oléron, La Rochelle and the Côte d'Azur, will regularly set up his easel in these two places, but also throughout France, in Italy and in Morocco. Louis will also be an excellent photographer, he will produce among other things portraits, nudes and of course landscapes. Today we find watercolors by Louis reproduced on a large number of almanacs or calendars because Louis will give up his rights for financial reasons. Louis, like his father Ernest, are today artists inseparable from the island of Oléron and Menton, they are the most sought-after subjects for amateurs. Louis will have as friend and student the painter and sailor Paul Enard who also lived in La Cotinière suer Oléron. There was in 2008 an important and very interesting exhibition at the museum of the island of Oléron accompanied by a very beautiful catalog, richly illustrated and documented which is today a reference.
