After a long stay in Paris, he returned to the family home in Espinousse in 1853. He was very successful and his works sold well. He will only come out for trips to Digne or Marseille. And that's when he produced the most. His watercolors become finer, more harmonious. His search for color becomes more subtle. Paul Camoin died in Espinousse on July 18, 1889. He left several watercolors at the Digne museum: two landscapes, farm interiors, cellar corner, path in the undergrowth, view of the columns of Riez and a lithograph entitled Fontaine de Riez.
His works are also kept at the Museum of Draguignan (Le Vésuve) and Perpignan (Halte de Bohémiens).
