In 1871 he received a professorship for composition and flute at the Paris Collège Rollin. He spent his last years in Italy again with his wife, the flautist Elmira Thomas .

His compositional work contains over 420 works for flute (solo and with piano accompaniment); Some of his studies and etudes are still used in the classroom today, including the Études mignonnes op. 131, 20 Petites Études op. 132, Exercices journaliers op. 89 and 15 Études modern et progressives .
