Biography

Biémouret worked as a farmer.[2] From 1969 to 1973, he was a member of the French national team, playing his first match on 22 February 1969 against England.[3] His last national team game came against Ireland on 14 April 1973.[3] He played in two test matches in South Africa in 1971. He began his professional career with SU Agen in 1965, which won the French rugby union championship in 1966.[2]

From 1972 to 1975, Biémouret played for AS Fleurance.[4] He captained a game against South Africa during a tournament in France in 1974.[3]

The following season, Biémouret became a player-coach for SA Condom, which won the Second Division in 1978.[5][6] After winning this title, he retired from playing rugby. In the early 1990s, he coached the Italian team Parma F.C.[7]

Biémouret's wife, Gisèle, served as a member of the French National Assembly from 2007 to 2022.[8]
