Born December 18, 1880, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France into a bourgeois family, Renoult was raised Republican and Progressive.
[4] Two months later, Renoult was one of the delegates at SFIO's Tours Congress, where he voted for the split that gave rise to the PCF.
However, he was suspended on October 5, 1939, pursuant to an order of the Minister of the Interior, which dissolved all Communist municipal councils of the Seine and the Oise.
Under his leadership, several projects were launched including the development of a site which would become to the Parc des Beaumonts, unemployment assistance, social housing, and the creation of institutions that still exist today.
[2] He died July 17, 1958, at his home, 10 Rue Parmentier in Montreuil leaving two messages in advance which gave a lucid sense of his impending doom.
One mentioned his attachment to the city of Montreuil, the other to remind people of his loyalty to the French Communist Party and its ideals of youth.
