Bruno Paul Marie Valentin was born on 22 January 1972 in Nancy. After his secondary studies, he obtained a licentiate in economics from the Paris IV-Dauphine University and then entered the Versailles Seminary. In 1995 he moved to the Pontifical French Seminary in Rome and earned a degree in theology with a specialization in ecclesiology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in 2001. He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Versailles on 29 June 2000.[1]

He was parish vicar of Trappes and diocesan delegate for the pastoral care of young adults from 2001 to 2004; pastor of Chatou from 2004 to 2012; head of the diocesan service for formation from 2007 to 2012; dean of Le Vésinet from 2007 to 2010; pastor of Montigny and Voisins-le-Bretonneux, episcopal vicar of the deanery of Rambouillet, and a member of the episcopal council from 2012 to 2018; episcopal vicar of the deanery of Maule-Montfort-Houdan from 2013 to 2018; diocesan delegate of the Œuvre des Campagnes from 2014 to 2018; and episcopal vicar of the deanery of Saint-Quentin from 2015 to 2018.[1]
