La Fontaine wurde geboren als Sohn eines bürgerlichen, aber mit seinen Chargen zum niederen Amtsadel zählenden Königlichen Rats (Conseiller du Roi) sowie Jagd- und Fischereiaufsehers (Maître des Eaux et Forêts) – ein Amt, das er 1658 erben, aber nie regelmäßig ausüben und 1670 verkaufen sollte.

Ebenfalls 1683 wurde La Fontaine in die Académie française gewählt, allerdings bestätigte Ludwig XIV., der inzwischen unter dem Einfluss der fromm gewordenen Mme de Maintenon stand, die Wahl erst nach längerem Zögern.
