In 1948, with the youth team of Lorraine, he won the National Youth Cup by beating a youth team from the South-East in the championship.

Henri Biancheri and Francis Méano were also on the South-Eastern team.

He also played later against Raymond Kopaszewski who was on a northern youth team.

The following year, he was accepted onto the French Junior team for the European championship.

1952

In November 1952, in a friendly match against Ireland, he was selected to join the France national team for the first time.
