Cartoonist in Le Journal amusant, Le Boulevard, L'Indépendance parisienne, La Vie parisienne, Les Faits-Divers illustrés, Félix Regamey founded in September 1870, the Public Salute. Militant under the Paris Commune and had to go into exile in London for several years after the failure of the insurrection.
Friend of Rimbaud and Verlaine, he helped them financially when they arrived in England in 1872.

He then left for the United States and worked for Graphic and Harper's Weekly. In 1876, in Philadelphia, during the World's Fair, he met Émile Guimet again, whom he had met in London four years earlier. The two began a long journey that would take them to Japan, China, Southeast Asia and India before returning to Europe.
Régamey's almost ethnographic watercolours and drawings were presented at the Universal Exhibition of 1878 and published the same year in the Japanese walks of Guimet.

In 1881, he was appointed inspector of drawing for the schools of the City of Paris.
