Raised in Canada, the Duchesnays started skating at an early age. Their first major success came at the 1982 Canadian Nationals, where they placed second in the junior competition.

Over time, the Duchesnays' skating became more innovative and revolutionary. After the Canadian Federation of Figure Skating criticized their skating, they decided to leave the Canadian team. In 1985, they began skating for the mother's homeland of France instead.

The Duchesnays' 1988 Winter Olympics programs were considered unusual. Their free dance, a jungle-inspired dance set to drums, was not well received by judges. The pair placed 8th overall. The XV Olympic Winter Games were held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. ...

Despite the judges' reactions, the Duchesnays continued skating in their unusual and innovative style. They placed third and second in the 1989 and 1990 World Championships, respectivly. They won their only World title at the 1991 Worlds in Munich, Germany.

The Duchesnays were favoured to win gold at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. Facing stiff competition from the Russian pair of Marina Klimova and Sergei Ponomarenko, they faltered and finished second. This would be the pair's last amateur competition. They competed professionally until Paul suffered a serious rollerblading accident in 1996.
