Born in Tullins, Bouquet trained with US Romans Péage during his youth.[2]
Bouquet was capped 34 times for France from 1954 to 1962, as a centre and occasional fly–half. He gained his international call up from then second division club CS Bourgoin-Jallieu. In 1955, Bouquet switched to CS Vienne, after the FFR requested that he play in the top division.[3] His international career included six Five Nations Championship–winning campaigns and a 1961 tour of New Zealand.[4]
