The son of an agricultural family from Poitou, he trained as a teacher at the École normale in Poitiers and then at the École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud.[1] He taught in Parisian lycées, including the Lycée Lavoisier, but remained always attached to his region of birth. Very active in the literary circles of the capital, he was awarded the Grand Prix for poetry by the town of Paris in 1958.[2]
A museum has been dedicated to him in Bonneuil-Matours, where his father was mayor from 1935 to 1947. It contains originals of his works as well as numerous personal effects.[2]
The Dutch composer Marjo Tal set several of Fombeure's poems to music.[3]
