After attending the local school, he studied at the lycée of Orléans and the Lycée Lakanal. Genevoix was accepted to the Ecole Normale Supérieure, being first in his class, but was soon mobilized into World War I in 1914.

Quotes by Maurice Genevoix (?)

“Les arbres, dans le clair d'étoiles, jaillissaient droits vers le ciel. On ne voyait pas leur ramure, rien que leurs fûts d'une blancheur de pierre. Ils portaient tous du même côté une petite frange lumineuse, un fil ruisselant de clarté bleue qui paraissait ne les point toucher.
A terre, de place en place, une poudre de neige feutrait un bosselage de racines, l'épaulement sinueux d'un fossé : une neige ancienne, un plumetis de flocons légers qu'un vol de bise avait perdu là en passant.”
― Maurice Genevoix, La dernière harde
