He trained as an engineer.[1] Before entering politics, he worked in an oil refinery in Dunkirk.

He is the twin brother of Didier Borotra, (Democratic Movement - MoDem), former French senator and mayor of Biarritz. His is also the father of the French actress Claire Borotra and the nephew of the French tennis player and politician Jean Borotra.[4]
