What is your motto ?

"There is no place where you can breathe more freely than on the deck of a ship" Elsa Triolet

How did you come to do this job?

A passion for young discovered sailing thanks to my father and to the adventurers of the time such as Eric Tabarly, Florence Arthaud and the desire to share and transmit that I have satisfied through my profession as a PES teacher and sailing instructor.

What people say about you?

Authentic, attentive and attentive to others, very pedagogical and passionate, calm, I reassure, I trust and naturally put people in trust so that they can progress quickly and fully enjoy the pleasures of sailing

To know about you, apart from your job?

I love sunsets and sunrises, music, reading and jokes

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

There are two of them: Surfing under spinnaker at more than 10 knots where you can feel the boat sliding and live under your fingers clinging to the helm, an immense pleasure with the feeling of being one with the elements and the sunsets or sunrises, a wonder each time!

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

When there is perfect fluidity and osmosis within the crew, with nature, when people have fully enjoyed the moments on the boat as if it were their own, and when they leave happy, full of energy and with a huge smile!

Your style of practice?

Calm and safe - fun and commitment - listening and caring
