Born from a poor family, it was reached as of its childhood of an infirmity which was to oblige it to carry crutches all its life. He studied with the Conservatoire of Paris at the same time as Georges Bizet, near Halévy and of Bazin. He approached the kind of the Opérette at the time of a contest organized by Offenbach in 1856 of which he gained the 1st price (ex æquo with Bizet).
