Currently a high school teacher in a small town in the French Alps, I am fond of travelling, cycling, photography and anything which has to do with mountains. I grew up reading Alexandra David-Neel's narratives of her adventures through Tibet.

My first encounter with the Himalayan high plateau was in 2005. I immediately fell in love with this enchanting and fascinating world which inspired me some long term photographic work. I returned in 2007, and in the winter 2008 for a short cycling trip in the Lhasa area. First 5000m passes, intense emotions ...

The Indian Himalaya then offered me some wonderful ground for adventure in the summer 2008 : 1,300km and 20,000m of climbing, by bike and on foot across the regions of Spiti and Laddakh. I went back in 2009 for a 1.000km test ride. This trip also gave me the opportunity to do a trek and to climb a peak (Mentok, 6017m).

On the strength of this experience, I now set off for the new adventure "Transhimalaya - three wheels to the roof of the world".
