Nació en [[Beaurevoir]] en el [[Departamentos de Francia|departamento]] de [[Aisne]]. Estudió historia en el [[École Nationale des Chartes]], y se convirtió en ''[[maître de conférence]]'' (Lit. Maestro de conferencia) en el [[École pratique des hautes études]]. Su carrera política fue más como [[funcionario público]] que como miembro de algún partido político. En [[1879]] entró al ministerio de asuntos exteriores como secretario, y escaló paso a paso hasta el servicio diplomático.
En [[1886]] fue elegido diputado de [[Aisne]], pero, vencidoal ser derrotado en [[1889]], regresó a su carrera diplomática, y el 31 de mayo de [[1894]] fue escogido por [[Charles Dupuy]] para servir como ministro de asuntos exteriores.
In [[1886]] he was elected deputy for Aisne, but, defeated in 1889, he returned to his diplomatic career, and on [[May 31]] [[1894]] was chosen by [[Charles Dupuy]] to be minister of foreign affairs. With one interruption (during the [[Alexandre Felix Joseph Ribot|Ribot]] ministry, from [[January 26]] to [[November 2]] [[1895]]) he held this portfolio until [[June 14]] [[1898]]. During his ministry he developed the ''rapprochement'' of France with Russia—visiting [[Saint Petersburg]] with the president, [[Félix Faure]]—and sent expeditions to delimit the [[French colonies]] in [[Africa]].
The [[Fashoda Incident]] of July [[1898]] was a result of this policy, and Hanotaux's distrust of [[England]] is frankly stated in his literary works.
He also edited the ''Instructions des ambassadeurs de France à Rome, depuis les traités de Westphalie'' ([[1888]]). He was elected a member of the [[Académie française]] on [[April 1]] [[1897]].
