 Rivel's father, Pedro Jaime Andreu Pausas (d. 1957), was the son of a cabinetmaker from Barcelona, Spain. In the 1880s, when he was fifteen years old, Pedro and his brother Juan left home to follow Circo Milá. As members of the circus, the brothers began performing a trapeze act. Pedro later joined another circus, Circo Alegría, where he met&mdash;and later married&mdash;a French acrobat, Marie-Louise Lasserre Seguino. Spain had fallen on hard times, and in order to survive, the young family decided to cross into France, where they hoped to find work. As they made their way toward the border, they performed in village squares across Catalonia.

Surviving as best they could, they finally reached France three months later. They soon secured an engagement with the small Cirque Dusoulier. This was the first circus ring little José stepped into. At age two, he appeared in his father's risley act. The following year, the family was with Cirque Caignac, where José performed both a solo parody of a strong-man act and a hand-to-hand balancing act with his young sister, Neña (Marie-Louise Andreu, 1897-1915), in which he originally dressed as a girl&mdash;which made their "all-girl" act look more attractive to agents and directors.

 The Cirque Caignac was destroyed by a storm in 1904, and the Andreu family again fell to performing in village squares&mdash;José doing acrobatic dancing, perch-pole balancing, and a hand-balancing act&mdash;before joining the Cirque Caron in Grenoble. There, José learned trick riding and began to play the guitar, violin, and mandolin.
