In 1888, Pallissaux was a member of the Racing Club de France that participated in the first edition of the French Athletics Championships, becoming French champion of the 120 meters hurdles, with a time of 18.6 seconds, and also finished third in the 100m; the following year, he won again in the national championship, this time in the 110 meters hurdles, with a time of 19 seconds.[3]
