Alexis Paulin Paris was born on the 25th of March, 1800 in Avenay-Val-d'Or, canton of Ay, France
Alexis Paulin Paris studied classics in Reims and law in Paris.
Alexis Paulin Paris published in 1824 an Apologie pour l"école romantique (In Defense of the Romantic school) and took an active part in Parisian journalism. His appointment, in 1828, to the department of manuscripts in the Bibliothèque royale left him leisure to pursue his studies in medieval French literature. Paulin Paris lived before modern research methods had been generally applied to literature, but his numerous editions of early French poems continued the work begun by Dominique Meon in arousing general interest in the then little-known epics of chivalry.
Admitted to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres in 1837, Alexis Paulin Paris was shortly afterwards appointed on the commission entrusted with the continuation of the Histoire littéraire de la France.
In 1853, a chair of medieval literature was founded at the Collège de France, and Paulin Paris became the first occupant. He retired in 1872 with the title of honorary professor and was promoted to officer of the Legion of Honour in the next year.
Paulin was promoted officer of the Legion of Honour in 1873.
