Carole Rousseau was born in La Garenne-Colombes in the department of Hauts-de-Seine. After studying law and obtaining a DESS (Diplôme d'études supérieures spécialisées) in audiovisual communication law, she started in 1991 working on FR3 with Jean-Marie Cavada for the program La Marche du Siècle. After being a production assistant for Le Droit de savoir with Charles Villeneuve from 1993 to 1996, she joined France 2 from September 1996 to June 1997 to present the program Déjà dimanche with Jean-Luc Delarue.
