[5] He moved to the Paris region at a very young age and was raised in Levallois where he learned to play on the Macadam with a tin can as a ball, in the company of Lucien Letailleur and Pierre Chayriguès, whom he had met while attended the independent school in Levallois-Perret.

[5] Due to his size, Triboulet was a fast and dribbling left winger, well anchored to the ground and difficult to deprive of the ball, so he quickly made a name for himself.

[5] He made his international debut on 23 April 1911, in a friendly match against Switzerland in Geneva, which ended in a 5–2 loss,[1][2] with Triboulet being at the origin of the first French goal scored by captain Louis Mesnier.

[12] He earned his second international cap for France on 28 January 1912, with Triboulet creating the opening goal scored by Eugène Maës in a 1–1 draw with Belgium.

[5] Nevertheless, Triboulet obtained a 36-hour permit because it was Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday"), but was forbidden from playing in the match, which he attended only as a spectator, but the public recognized him and asked him to play because no player was scheduled to replace him, and he enventually yielded to the public's requests and ended up scoring a goal to help his side to a 4–1 win,[5] forming a great partnership with Henri Viallemonteil on the left, and both were described by the press as the best players on the pitch, who "got on like thieves in a fair".

[5] Triboulet became the director of the Weeks factory, located in Saint-Just-en-Chaussée (textiles), and took care of the small club of Saint-Just, organized its merger with the US Creil.
