Life
Mars-Vallet was the son of a marble mason and studied with Alexandre Falguière .

Here he received an honorable mention in 1895 . From 1897 to 1922 he showed his work in the salons of the Société nationale des beaux-arts .
He received orders for a statue of the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Archbishop of Chambéry in Chambéry. In addition, he received an order for a memorial in Hong Kong . In 1904 Mars-Vallet was appointed curator of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Chambéry , to which he donated thirty-one of his sculptures in 1948.
Many of his small Art Nouveau bronzes were handcrafted and sold by the Parisian foundry Siot-Decauville , including the work Wuilfride , which was inspired by Sarah Bernhardt in Edmon Rostand's play La Princesse lointaine . The actress played Mélissinde in the play from 1895 at the Paris Théâtre de la Renaissance . Other works were produced and published from 1902 by the Éditeur d'art (art publisher) Arthur Goldscheider .
