In 1825 he was graduated with distinction and moved to Paris to continue his training, first under Eugène Cicéri, then with Louis Hersent.[2]
In 1831 Migette returned to Metz, where he was appointed painter and set decorator for the Metz theater, a position he held until 1875. He also taught art at the high school.[2]
