Callot won the silver medal in the amateur foil event. He went undefeated in his preliminary round group, defeating Henri Delaborde, Periklis Pierrakos-Mavromichalis, and Ioannis Poulos. He then faced fellow Frenchman Eugène-Henri Gravelotte, who had gone undefeated in the other preliminary group, in a final match. There, he lost to Gravelotte 3–2.[2]
He was also a student of Jules Lefebvre and Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury. He exhibited at the Salon des artistes français, of which he was a member from 1898.
