A chocolate lover and collector of Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks, he became a journalist before the birth of the internet and the discovery of fire (according to some Instagram accounts), and was appointed editor-in-chief at Figaro.fr at a time when, for many of his contemporaries, the mouse was just a rodent and the notion of “click” still a mystery.

A Voltairean by nature, he abhors approximation and loves precision. Having officially left the club of fifty-somethings, he’s in transit towards sixty… but in no hurry, of course! Passionate about literature, poetry, French history and sport (especially from his sofa), he cultivates a dry sense of humor and, according to some, a good level of self-mockery.

Addicted to information and a man of challenges, he keeps his smile and his phlegm in all circumstances… or almost. Agnostic? No. Atheist? Not really. He believes. Saint-Émilion and Dom Pérignon have definitively convinced him that good taste is not a sin.

On October 31, he published his first historical crime novel, “Code La Fayette” (Mareuil Éditions). A literary experiment that blends digital and print.
