In the 1860s, he reached his peak with a series of successes including [[The Voyage of Mr. Perrichon|Le Voyage de M. Perrichon]] (1860), La Poudre aux yeux (1861), La Station Champbaudet (1862) and La Cagnotte (1864). He worked with [[Jacques Offenbach]], then director of the Bouffes-Parisiens, to write [[Libretto|librettos]] for operettas and for several comic operas.

His 1851 [[farce]] ''[[The Italian Straw Hat (play)|The Italian Straw Hat]]'', written with [[Marc-Michel]], has been adapted many times to stage and screen.
