In 1945, Marot was admitted to the Beaux-Arts de Paris and graduated in 1950. After his degree, he studied at Harvard University. He earned the Prix de Rome to study at the Villa Medici from January 1955 to April 1958.

In 1963, Marot won the Prix de l'Équerre d'Argent for his design of the Église Sainte-Agnès de Fontaine-les-Grès.

In 1970, he designed his most famous project, the Villa Arson in Nice. In 1965, he became a professor at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and later became President of the Société française des architectes.[2] In 2010, the Église Sainte-Agnès de Fontaine-les-Grès was declared a historic monument.
