Cabanel made the acquaintance of André Breton through the Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme in January 1938 . He was immediately enthusiastic about his Écriture automatique and joined the surrealists in Paris. There he also met Robert Langarde (* 1928), who would later illustrate many of Cabanel's works.

In addition to Robert Lagarde, Cabanel also worked with Jean Benoît , Jorge Camacho , Adrien Dax , Jacques Lacomblez , Mimi Parent , Jean-Claude Silbermann , Toyen and Lucques Trigaut . Cabanel was able to publish his first texts after the Second World War . He supported u. a. Jean Schuster , who enabled him to contact the publishers on various occasions.
