He would go on to study at École des Beaux-Arts d'Avignon (now École des Beaux-Arts d'Avignon) where he became a pupil of Pierre Grivolas and was awarded a travel grant. Around 1881, with the support of Jules Laurens, Benoni-Auran would be admitted to the Beaux-Arts de Paris and would join Alexandre Cabanel's atelier. In 1888 he joined Jean-Baptiste Lavastre's atelier where he collaborated in the creation of murals in the central dome for the Exposition Universelle (1889).
