Whether still wearing my mountaineer's cap, passionate about hiking, or my chef's hat, in Cervières, Burgundy, Iceland, or elsewhere, I invite you to explore unspoiled nature and enjoy healthy and delicious cuisine in a warm and welcoming atmosphere!

As a lover of wide open spaces and an indefatigable explorer, I enjoy both wild and technical hikes and walks "where all the muscles work," when it's not the kilometers or the difficulties that count, but the discovery of landscapes, for what they offer me to tell you about their history or their current events!


Originally from the Dijon "coast", I invite you to escape with me with the sole ambition of sharing pleasure and conviviality in the heart of nature!


Our partner is based in Cervières, at the foot of the Col d'Izoard. In every season, they invite you to discover extraordinary and unspoiled natural spaces, combining adventure, comfort, and enjoyment, all while respecting your fitness level and desires. Join them for a hike and immerse yourself in breathtaking nature, letting yourself be captivated by its beauty!

At the heart of its approach: exchange, sharing and conviviality, with the desire to combine tourism and respect for the environment.
