Girard was born in Paris and studied at the Paris Conservatory. She became a principal singer at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris in 1853, creating many roles including Margot in Le diable à quatre by Solié/Adam in 1853, Columbine in Le tableau parlant by Grétry in 1854, Nancy/Aenchen in Robin des Bois by Weber in 1855, Pétronille in Le sourd ou l’auberge pleine by Adam in 1856, Antonio in Richard Coeur-de-lion by Grétry in 1856, Fatime in Oberon by Weber in 1857, Barberine in Les noces de Figaro in 1858, Florette in Les rosières by Hérold in 1860 and Papillon/Despina in Peines d’amours perdues by Mozart/Shakespeare in 1863. Moving in 1863 to the Opéra-Comique, where she was described as a 'dugazon', she made her debut there as Lucette in La fausse magie on 16 July 1863.Soubies A, Malherbe C.

Her other leading roles at the Opéra included Eurydice in Orphée et Eurydice, Iphigénie in Iphigénie en Tauride, Pamyra in Le siège de Corinthe, Adèle in Le comte Ory, Amazily in Fernand Cortez, and Églantine in the first French performance of Euryanthe. Dabadie's voice was beautiful and well-schooled, with a purity of style and diction, but Laure Cinti-Damoreau somewhat eclipsed her fame when she joined the company in 1826. Several of the leading roles in Paris Opéra premieres were given to Cinti-Damoreau, with Dabadie either in secondary roles (as in Moïse et Pharaon and William Tell) or singing Cinti-Damoreau's roles in revival performances (such as Le siège de Corinthe and Le comte Ory). During this time Dabadie's two younger sisters also began performing at the Paris Opéra: the soprano Clara Lavry (née Leroux) and the ballerina Pauline Leroux. From 1821 to 1830, Dabadie was also a principal singer in the Chapelle royale of Louis XVIII and later Charles X. She had been engaged by the Duc de La Châtre in 1821 after he heard her performance at Notre Dame Cathedral in a Te Deum marking the baptism of the Count of Chambord.
