Born in Gressan from Pierre-Aimable and Caroline in 1892, Blanchet had the solemn profession for the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in 1920 and was ordained a Catholic priest on June 29, 1921. He was appointed superior of his Order in Pescara.
He was appointed bishop of Aosta on February 18, 1946. He was council father during the four sessions of the Second Vatican Council.

He resigned due to an age limit on October 15, 1968 and was appointed titular bishop of Limata. He died on November 9, 1974 at the Saint-Jacquême priory in Saint-Pierre.
