Life

After studying law in his hometown Alexis went to Paris, where he became a close friend of Émile Zola and his family. In Paris, he worked for several newspapers contributed, in part, anonymous, works. He wrote, among other things, for the newspapers L' Avenir national, La Cloche, Le Cri du peuple, Gil Blas, Le Journal, and Le Voltaire.

Work

Alexis wrote novels and short stories in the naturalistic style. This is also true for his plays, some of which he wrote with Oscar Méténier. Along with Émile Zola, he was among the group of six.
