A lightly built climber nicknamed Clavette, he grew up near Grenoble in the Isère region and turned professional in 1983 with St-Étienne-Pélussin. His best season was 1990, when he won the stage at Saint-Gervais in the Tour de France and finished in the polka dot jersey as leader of the mountains classification. He won another stage at Morzine in 1991, and he also won the Tour du Limousin in 1989 and the Tour du Haut-Var and the Coupe de France in 1993. He retired in May 1994 and ran a bar in Vizille. A small memorial to him stands on the Chemin de la Bastille in Grenoble.
