He was born in Paris, France, the son of Georges Constantine Louis Raynaud, who was an engineer, and Virginie Marie Billet.^{[citation needed]} His parents moved to Brussels, Belgium when he was two years old, and his mother died there when he was only five years of age.^{[citation needed]} He studied at several schools, and attended the Université Catholique de Louvain where he graduated as a mining engineer in the footsteps of his father and grandfather^{[citation needed]}. Although he grew up and studied in Belgium he would return to his native France in his early twenties.^{[citation needed]} [he returned to France when he was released from the army, in 1940.
