John de Menil was born Jean Marie Joseph Menu de Menil in Paris, France. He was the son of Baron Georges Auguste and Madeleine Rougier|Marie- Madeleine (Rougier) Menu de Menil.〔 He was born into a Catholic military family with a title bestowed by Napoleon.〔(John and Dominique de Menil in Depth )〕 In the 1920s, he earned a degree in political science from Sciences Po (Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris) and a degree in law from the Faculté de droit de l’Université de Paris.〔
In 1930, Jean de Menil met French heiress Dominique Schlumberger, whom he married in 1931.〔John Russell, ( "Dominique de Menil, 89, Dies; Collector and Philanthropist," ) New York Times.
