Chenet served in the French infantry during the First World War. He became the last Master tiler at Claon,[1] where he was also elected mayor, serving in that office from de 1929 to 1939.[2]
Chenet started his career as a specialist of Gallo-Roman pottery in Argonne, with no academic credentials or diploma. His work in the region focuses on the Gallo-Roman ceramics of Argonne, on the Merovingian cemetery of Lavoye and on the prehistory of the upper Aisne valley.[3]
In the Middle East, Chenet worked with Claude F.-A. Schaeffer in the mission to Ras Shamra near Latakia, in Syria.[3]
Chenet's personal collection were looted during the First World War and again in 1940; the remainder is kept at the National Archaeological Museum in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.[3]
Part of his notes is kept at the Departmental Archives of Meuse.[4]
In 2018, the Terres d'Argonne association published a biography, authored by Colette Méchin.[5]
