Camille Adrien Paris was the son of François Paris, a merchant in Paris, and Rosalie Zoé Monteret. He studied under Ary Scheffer and François-Édouard Picot. He began by traveling to Italy, where he painted several canvases, before settling in Barbizon.
He exhibited at the Salons from 1864 onwards, initially with views of the Roman countryside, and later drew inspiration from the surrounding countryside. The Fine Arts Administration purchased several of his paintings for provincial museums before acquiring the large painting that won a 3rd class medal at the 1874 Salon and a 2nd class medal at the 1889 Salon. He received a bronze medal at the 1889 Universal Exposition.
The painting entitled "Goat and Sheep" or "Landscape," exhibited at the 1865 Salon, was purchased from Napoleon III's civil list for the Château de Fontainebleau. It was returned to Empress Eugénie in 1881, who then put it up for sale.
Camille Adrien Paris was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor on May 7, 1895; the insignia was presented to him by Léon Bonnat.
He died on August 17, 1901, in Barbizon and was buried in the cemetery of that town. His tomb was adorned with a bronze bas-relief by Laurent Marqueste. On August 21, his remains were transferred to Père-Lachaise Cemetery.
