Born in Dijon on 27 April 1950, Parot learned stained-glass art in the workshop of his father, Marcel Parot. After his studies at the Beaux-Arts School of Dijon [fr], he took over his father's workshop in 1972.[2] He spent his time on the restoration of old stained glass windows in collaboration with the likes of Gérard Garouste, Jean Ricardon [fr], and Véronique Ellena [fr], as well as the creation of new stained glass windows. His workshop was situated at the Château d'Aiserey [fr], south of Dijon.[3]

In 2016, Parot was awarded the Prix Liliane-Bettencourt pour l'intelligence de la main [fr].[2] In 2019, he helped to restore stained-glass windows impacted by the Notre-Dame fire.[3]
