Among the achievements of his workshop, we note the 1963 copy of La Danse, by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux located on the right side of the façade of the Opéra Garnier[15]. He also made medals (for example: Bronze and silver medals by Georges Hébert for the fiftieth anniversary of the Natural Method in 1955) and illustrations for art books, notably Boubouroche by Courteline. Two bronzes, Jeannette and Apollo, have been in the Tuileries Gardens since 1988 (gift from the Belmondo family). A Baigneuse by Paul Belmondo adorns a crossroads in the city center of Orléans. A retrospective exhibition of his work, entitled La Sculpture sereine was organized in several cities in France in 1997 at the initiative of the Ministry of Culture. Source Wikipedia
