Églantine Chesneau studied at the Rueil-Malmaison School of Fine Arts.[1] Around 2014 to 2015, she worked as a cartoonist for Le Nouvel Observateur.[2]
In 2019, Michel Lafon published her first bande dessinée, 12 301 jours avec ma mamie (12 301 days with my granny).[3] where she describes the end of her grandmother's life.
Also in 2019, she ran in the Paris Marathon, which serves as the inspiration for a comic strip describing her preparation for the event,[1] finally released as an album in 2021.[4] The cartoon was being written concurrently as she prepared for the marathon. During her preparation, she met a dozen other amateur athletes who also running their first marathon; these meetings served as her inspiration when writing the comic.[5] Her album has gained popularity France and Belgium.
