Louis Antoine Besson was born into a family of the Lyon bourgeoisie. He studied at the Lycée impérial de Lyon, then with the Jesuits at the Collège Saint-Michel de Fribourg. He then enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and worked in Danguin's studio.
In 1876, he published his first novel, Geri ou un premier amour; a limited publication since the book evoked for the first time in French literature, an openly homosexual love story. Hesitating between writing and painting, he became a war correspondent in Tunisia. Back in France, he settled in Paris where he managed to get his second novel, Mousseline, published. He returned to painting and opened a studio in Lyon, where he specialized in depicting railway stations and locomotives and achieved a certain fame.
