Early life and family
Born in Quebec City on 4 May 1935, Dorion was the son of politician Noël Dorion and his wife, Olga Malherbe. After pursuing his passions of piano, geography, and languages, an accident forced him to abandon his desire to become a pianist. He was instead admitted to the Bar of Quebec in 1958.
Dorion was father of actress Nathalie Coupal, dancer Geneviève Dorion-Coupal, musologist Anik Dorion-Coupal, and anthropologist Karen Dorion-Coupal. He was also the uncle of politician Catherine Dorion and the nephew of politician Charles-Napoléon Dorion and judge Frédéric Dorion. His wife was journalist and academic Renée Hudon.
