Early life

Forêt was born in the French colony of New Caledonia. He began playing golf at age twelve.

Professional career

Forêt turned professional in 2006 at the age of 23. He began playing on the Challenge Tour, the European Tour's developmental tour, and won the Golf Open International de Toulouse. Forêt's successful start to his professional career continued when he came through 2006 European Tour Qualifying School to earn a place on the European Tour for 2007. However he then suffered a slump in form. In 2007 Forêt made only two cuts on the European Tour. He returned to the Challenge Tour for 2008 but only made four cuts. Since then he has played mainly on the third-tier Alps Tour.
