1995Quotations: “I love to write, especially in the field of ethnohistory. I think I was perhaps influenced by my masters Jacques Sanstelle, Marcel Betaillan, and Claude Lévi-Strauss. My subjects are chosen by opportunity and the pertinence of a research field.”

Baudot married Christiane Sauvanet, on September 25, 1958, they had 2 children - Viviane and Violaine.
