He makes his studies with the 3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of the fine arts to the workshop of Louis Arretche and Georges Gromort. He meets there his future associates Pierre Riboulet and Gerard Thurnauer. They carry out together a mission at the town planning service of the Morocco directed by Michel Ecochard in 1949-1950 then in 1951 and 1952. They are all three graduates in November 1952 with a joint project (University of Fès). Jean-Louis Véret enters then to the workshop of Le Corbusier: he becomes his collaborator in charge of the follow-up of the building sites of Ahmedabad in India, until 1955. In 1957, it joined Riboulet and Thurnauer in the Parisian workshop of Michel Ecochard to work on the project of University of Karachi. It is on this occasion that they meet Jean Renaudie. All the four, they found in November 1958 the Atelier of Montrouge, which will be active in Paris until 1981.

Among the personal achievements of Jean-Louis Véret, within his workshop (created in 1981), the buildings of the files of film with Wood-D' Arcy (CNC), the head office and the shop Shu Uemura (Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris), were particularly greeted by the critic, just as the laboratories of the Avicenne hospital to Bobigny carried out for the Public assistance (1983-1989).

Named " Architect as a Chief of the Civil Building industries and Nationaux" Palate; by Andre Malraux in April 1968, Jean-Louis Véret is responsible for this reason for the Theater of the Parisian East (as from 1982), of the service of the Files of Film with Wood-in Arcy (National center of the Cinema), and of the Villa Savoye of Le Corbusier to Poissy (as from 1985). These two last missions give place to the refitting of the whole of the site, the restoration of the existing buildings and the construction of new buildings for the Files of Film on the one hand (1985-1992) and to several restoration campaigns for the Savoye Villa on the other hand.
