In the 1860s, he reached his peak with a series of successes including 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 librettos for operettas and for several comic operas.
His 1851 farce ''The Italian Straw Hat'', written with Marc-Michel, has been adapted many times to stage and screen. Provided by Wikipedia
