In particular, he painted many landscapes around Saint-Tropez and produced religious frescoes, mainly in the Aisne. He stands out in particular for his bathing scenes and pays a permanent tribute to light. In 1896, Paul Charavel was a pupil of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux before being a pupil of Léon Bonnatet by Albert Maignan at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After a stay in Spain in 1903 where the photographs he took in Avilade will remain cited as remarkable, he moved to the “Oustalet des pescadous”, a neighboring property to Saint-Tropez (it would later become the property of Henri MAnguin) where he meets Paul Signac, Henri Matisse and Albert Marquet. After the First World War, Paul Charavel settled for a few years in Saint-Quentin, carrying out, in the wake of the work of his brother Jean Charavel (1881-1957), architect of the reconstruction, mural frescoes and stained glass windows for churches of the department, the two brothers thus contributing together, by the one and entire reconstruction of completely razed villages, to shape models of new places of life, modern and animated. The Academic Society of Saint-Quentin evokes a Portrait of Jean Charavel painted by his brother Paul. Paul Charavel became blind at the end of his life
