Biography
Marc Wilmet was born in Charleroi and spent his early years in various locations across Wallonia due to his father's assignments as a gendarme. He later attended school in Koekelberg. He obtained a licentiate degree in Romance philology in 1960 and a doctorate in Philosophy and Letters in 1968, both from the ULB.[2]
He began his teaching career at the Athénée royal in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, where he taught French.
