Gautier was born in Clermont-Ferrand. His studies focused on northern Africa, especially Algeria, the Sahara desert and the territories of French Africa. He also conducted research in the French colony of Madagascar. He died, aged 75, in Pontivy (Saint-Pierre-de-Quiberon).
During his career, he taught classes at the École supérieure des lettres in Algiers, and was also a director of education in Madagascar. In 1922 he became a member of the Académie des sciences d'outre-mer.[1]
