In 1855, he became a member of the jury at the Exposition Universelle and was made a Chevalier of the Legion d’honeur. It was during this period that he was known to employ nearly one hundred craftsmen. When Paillard was 69 yrs old, he became mayor of Paris’s third district. A small stamp of "V.P."
