Fables was born in a farmhouse in Saint Leon, Provence, southern France. In the following years, Fables spent time with his grandparents in Malaval, not far from the village. At that time, he was attracted by lovely insects such as butterflies and fireflies in the country. 1857, he published Observations on the Habits of Arthropods.
This paper corrected the wrong view of Leon dufour, the founder of entomology at that time, and therefore won the praise of French research institute and was awarded the experimental physiology prize. During this period, Fabers also devoted himself to the study of natural dye madder or alizarin. At that time, the red color on French soldiers' trousers came from madder powder.
