He came to Bali in 1937 because of the beauty of Sanur beach, he then decided to live permanently on this beach by building a place to paint. Le Mayeur married his model girl, named Ni Polok. She was also a dancer who had been famous at that time.

Le Mayeur gallery are full of painting and interesting books which are kept in a building with a Balinese architecture.
