A student at the École normale supérieure (1960), Olivier Picard obtained his agrégation of history in 1964 and became a member of the French School at Athens (1966–1971). He immediately began his academic career at the Paris West University Nanterre La Défense (1971) where he was appointed a professor in 1979.

Back in Nanterre, he quickly was elected at Paris IV-Sorbonne where he directed the graduate school of ancient and medieval history.

As an archaeologist, he led excavations on the sites of Thasos and Lato.

He was president of the Société française de numismatique and of the "Association des études grecques". On 24 April 2009, he was elected a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, in François Chamoux's seat.

Olivier Picard is the eldest son of Gilbert Charles-Picard and Colette Picard, both historians and archaeologists, and grandson of Hellenist Charles Picard.

gollark: Can someone help with this really weird issue? I have a websocket-using thing (https://osmarks.tk/incdec/) which seemingly can't connect to the backend websocket (wss://osmarks.tk/incdec/api) in Firefox on my phone and laptop, even though it works fine when I test it with `wscat` and the Node.js `ws` thing. It worked fine up until quite recently.
gollark: You can also just use... steganography or something, I think that's the right term... to store your encrypted data in images.
gollark: I meant just put it in a savings account or something. But interest rates are not very good right now...
gollark: Anyway, if it were me I would probably buy a less extremely expensive laptop and save the money or something.
