Valérie Bonneton was born in Somain, Nord department. Her father was an insurance salesman and her mother a housewife.

After her baccalauréat she left for Paris where she enrolled at Cours Florent, supporting herself with part-time jobs (fruit seller, baby-sitter, sculptor’s model). In 1991 she was accepted into the National Academy of Dramatic Arts where she studied until the age of 26.

She took noteworthy supporting roles in films, until the success of the television series Fais pas ci, fais pas ça in 2007, which made her popular. In 2010, she appeared in Guillaume Canet’s Little White Lies which earnt her a César Awards nomination as Best Supporting Actress. In 2013, she appeared in Eyjafjallajökull with Dany Boon. In 2017, she acted in Garde alternée with Didier Bourdon and Isabelle Carré.
