Born in Montélimar, Planel was the son of the founder and director of the music school in Montélimar, Alphonse Planel, who himself from 1902 to 1947 was conductor of the Harmonie municipale "La Lyre" montilienne and also composer. Planel received violin lessons with René Chédécal, then 1st violinist of the Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Paris. From 1922 to 1933 he studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with, among others, Firmin Touche (violin), Jean Gallon (harmony), Georges Caussade (counterpoint) and with Henri Büsser and Paul Vidal (musical composition). During his studies he worked as a violinist in prominent cinemas in the French capital.

In 1933 he won the prestigious Prix de Rome for his cantata Idylle funambulesque. As a result, he was able to study and work from 1934 to 1936 in Rome at the "Académie de France" in the Villa Medici.

After the Second World War, he was Inspector General of the City of Paris and had great merits for structuring the musical training institutes. From 1972 to 1974, he was one of the co-founders of the urban conservatories of Paris and of the Paris region. As a composer he wrote for various genres.
