Clavel was born in Lons-le-Saunier. From a humble background, he was largely self-educated. He began working as a pastry cook apprentice when he was 14 years old.

Une grosse claque... D'abord un peu délicat à appréhender, on s'aperçoit bien vite que la pénibilité est voulue. Jusqu'à cette fin grandiose !
C'est un livre que je vais garder !!
