The address I have on him is a high rent district, 12 rue Ponthieu Paris, which I believe is in the 3rd Arrondissement. He did participate in the 1889 Paris exposition. He is mentioned in a 19th century Belgian book about patents by French gunmakers. Though I have no idea what patents he actually held. I can find no reference to his having an address in England, which many of the largest makers did have.
