Robert Édouard Camelot was born in the house known as the Tapis-Rouge, at 57 Rue de Vesle, where his parents ran a novelty shop. Based in Paris, he practised from 1932 to 1977.

In accordance with the teaching methods that had become established at the École des Beaux-Arts during the 19th century, the study of architecture took place within a studio under the authority of a master who prepared his students for architectural entrance examinations. Robert Camelot was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts on 14 February 1921, and he entered the first year of architecture on 2 November 1923 in Emmanuel Pontremoli’s studio. The finesse, simplicity and expressive clarity that characterised this studio had a lasting influence on Robert Camelot’s career.
