He was born in Saint-Vincent-de-Paul on Île Jésus in Canada East, the son of Jean-Baptiste Archambault and Marie-Louise Auclair. Archambault was educated at the Collège de Sainte-Thérèse and in Montreal. He was admitted to the Lower Canada bar in 1863 and entered practice with his brother Cyrille. He served as crown attorney and acting solicitor general at Montreal. In 1864, he married Marie-Louise-Octavie Saint-Louis. Archambault was named Queen's Counsel in 1878. He was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat in the House of Commons in 1878 and 1882.
