He had six children with Élisabeth (three sons, three daughters), including Thierry, who took the pseudonym Barrigue after becoming a cartoonist, and Christophe, a key figure in the foundation of the genealogy website Geneanet.

In 1947, he began to contribute to Témoignage chrétien and Le Figaro, and readers of Le Point and La Croix also had access to his drawings.

He then joined the Syndicat national des journalistes.

He became known to the general public after appearing in the television program Le Petit Rapporteur, where Jacques Martin called him "the ancestor", although he was just 51 years old.
