He studied graphic art at the [[Sèvres]] [[Secondary education in France|lycée]] and then went on to art school. While spending time as a singer in a punk-rock band, he published his first drawings in comics and rock fanzines. In October 1994, he was published in the French magazine [[Fluide Glacial]] (issue #220) with ''L'Expert comptable de la jungle'', a first story rapidly followed by other complete ones, and republished later in comic books, in the series ''Soyons fous'', ''La Loi des séries'' and ''Bill Baroud''. Meanwhile, Larcenet was also actively working for Les rêveurs de rune. For this magazine and label specialising in fantasy, he created games called ''Raoul'', ''D'ac Raoul'', and, in 1997, ''Dallas cowboy''.

From that year on, alone first and then with Gaudelette, he worked for [[Spirou (magazine)|''Spirou'' magazine]], publishing ''Pedro le Coati'', among others. In 1998, still for [[Dupuis]] but with Jean-Michel Thiriet, he created ''La vie est courte''. His other drawings were independently collected and published in 1996 and 1998 in ''30 millions d'imbéciles'' and ''Ni dieu, ni maître, ni croquettes'' by [[Glénat (publisher)|Glénat]].

In 2000, he met Guy Vidal who would become responsible for the label Poisson Pilote at [[Dargaud]]. He became friends with him and started contributing to the Poisson Pilote label, drawing ''Les cosmonautes du futur'' based on a script by [[Lewis Trondheim]], and later on ''Les Entremondes'' with his brother Patrice Larcenet. In June 2001, he left [[Paris]] for [[Lyon]], keeping contact with Vidal. On a scenario by [[Jean-Yves Ferri]], he participated in ''Le retour à la terre''. Finally, he signed alone his next books : the ''Une aventure rocambolesque de...'', ''Le combat ordinaire'' (this last one being granted an award by the [[Angoulême International Comics Festival Prize for Best Comic Book|Prize for Best Album]] at the [[Angoulême International Comics Festival]]) and ''Nic Oumouk'' series.
