 Born in Phnom Penh to a French civil servant – he was the first French child ever born in Cambodia – Groslier was taken by his mother to France at the age of two and grew up in Marseilles.
 Aspiring to become a painter, he tried but failed to win the prestigious Prix de Rome.

 Under their influence, he wrote and published, in France in 1913, his initial book on this subject: "Danseuses Cambodgiennes – Anciennes et Modernes" ("Cambodian Dancers – Ancient and Modern").
 It was the very first scholarly work ever published in any language on Cambodian dance.
 He then returned to Cambodia, traveling the length and breadth of the country to examine its ancient monuments and architecture.
 From this experience came his book "A l'ombre d 'Angkor; notes et impressions sur les temples inconnus de l'ancien Cambodge" ("In the Shadow of Angkor: Notes and Impressions on the Unknown Temples of Ancient Cambodia").
 In June 1914, Groslier enlisted in the French army and was employed as a balloonist in the early part of World War I.
