Biography
Born in Le Petit-Quevilly, Trévoux began his racing career in early 1932 driving a Bugatti and winning the Criterium Paris to Nice race. He also drove a Bentley Blower at the Le Mans 24 Hours that year but crashed out on the first lap.
In 1934 Trévoux took the first of his four wins at Monte-Carlo, as co-driver to Louis Gas. In 1939 he took a joint win with Joseph Paul. After racing returned following World War II, he claimed two other wins, driving a Hotchkiss and Delahaye 175 respectively.
Trévoux competed in the Rallye du Maroc in 1935 and 1937, and the Criterium International de Tourisme Paris-Nice in 1934. In 1941, he attempted to qualify for the Indianapolis 500.[2]
Trévoux later settled in Mexico during the late 1940s, marrying a Mexican woman and opening a restaurant in Mexico City called Restaurant Bar La Cucaracha.[3]
