He left the south of France to instal himself in Paris. He particularly frequented the salon of Stéphane Mallarmé, for whom he had the greatest admiration. He won a certain notoriety, trying out several pseudonyms before finally becoming "Saint-Pol-Roux le magnifique". He even got one of his plays, la Dame à la faux, put on by Sarah Bernhardt, and was interviewed by Jules Huret as a member of the Symbolist movement. He perhaps participated in the Rosicrucian aesthetic of Péladan. Nevertheless, he wrote nothing on the movement or on its founder. Saint-Pol-Roux was doubtless interested in this audacious literary attempt, and had to leave it quickly.
... Saint-Pol-Roux was born to a middle class family in Marseille where his father was an industrialist. He studied in a lycée in Lyon, but mysteriously ended his studies there. He then wrote some plays under his own name.
