From 1883 to 1938 he showed his works at the Salon des Artistes Français . He spent two months in Palestine in 1888 , returned there for a year in 1890, and his studies in and around Jerusalem resulted in a series of orientalist images.

In 1934 he was elected vice-president of the Société des Artistes Français . He also provided illustrations for Le Monde illustré , the Revue de Bretagne and the Revue de l'Anjou .

His brother Auguste Alleaume (1854–1940) ran a glass painting workshop in Laval (Mayenne) . Ludovic designed templates for him for stained glass windows in the St. Nicholas Church in Craon and also for churches in Laval and other places in the Mayenne department , in Bourgon , Chailland , Cuillé , Désertines , Fougères , Larchamp as well as in Saint-Cloud and Saint -Germain-en-Laye .

The artist's work was extremely diverse. Some of his pictures show precise contours, others are blurred in the fog.
