Life

Bachelet spent his early childhood near Oloron-Sainte-Marie , Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France. After the family moved to Paris , he started school there. Since he preferred to skip school there and hang around the markets on Rue Mouffetard than to attend classes at the Lycée Henri IV , after two years he was enrolled for seven years at a boarding school run by Catholic fathers in Saint-Lô . In 1971 he returned to Paris and enrolled in the Faculty of Sculpture, preparing for a visit to the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris.

After five years, Bachelet had already made a name for himself as a draftsman and illustrator in business that he left school in 1977 without a degree and started working as a freelance illustrator. His clients include the magazines L'Express , Lire , Marie Claire and others, as well as book publishers and advertising companies. Since 1980, books he has illustrated and his own books written and illustrated by himself have been published both in France and internationally.

Bachelet has been teaching illustration and publishing technology at the École supérieure d'art de Cambrai in Cambrai in Picardy since 2001 .
