Born in Paris in 1990, Renaud trained under Michel Bernier at the Conservatoire des Lilas before being taught by Richard Vieille at the CRR in Paris. His interest in the bass clarinet led him to work with Jean-Marc Volta and then Jean-Noël Crocq.

​He perfected his skill in chamber music in a class taught by Paul Meyer and Eric le Sage in a woodwind quintet, then continued studying at the CNSM de Paris in a class taken by Philippe Berrod and Arnaud Leroy.
