Marcel Treich-Laplène is the son of Gustave Treich-Lapèlne, a notary of Meymac, who became the mayor of Ussel, after being the magistrate of Tizi Ouzou, then Kabylie, and finally Comores.

With the death of his father in 1882, the young Marcel, upon returning from his military service in Algeria, suspended his legal studies in order to support his family. With the help of a friend of his father's, he was hired as a tutor in La Rochelle, France. It was here that he met Arthur Verdier.
