Born on the mainland in Sarcelles, Foulquier was raised in Capesterre, a commune in the overseas region and department of Guadeloupe.[2] After excelling with local clubs in the commune, he was spotted by Rennes scout Patrick Rampillon and, subsequently, joined the professional club in July 2007.[2][3] After excelling in the club's academy, Foulquier was awarded the Best Academy Player award for the 2009–10 season.[1] After appearing on the bench in matches during the 2010–11 season,[2] he was promoted to the senior team by manager Frédéric Antonetti for the 2011–12 season. Foulquier was assigned the number 24 shirt and made his professional debut on 2 October 2011 in a league match against Lille.
