🌄 Eureka!
That moment when life unveils your path…

Once upon a time in September 2002, in a Buddhist temple suspended between sky and water on Lake Indawgyi (Myanmar).
Picture it: lush vegetation, an emerald mirror, monks in saffron robes… and me, seeking the absolute, ready to do anything to hear that inner voice.

7 days. 4 hours of daily meditation.
Physical pain, a mind in turmoil…
Then, THE breakthrough: my consciousness detached from my body like a leaf carried by the wind.
And there, the flash: “Your mission? Capture the soul of the world. Connect, inspire, become a bridge for humanity.”

22 years later, this revelation still breathes within me:
➡️ Travel the world
➡️ Meet the other
➡️ Photograph the invisible in a gaze
➡️ Share with the world through inspiring talks, especially on Creative Joy (sounds familiar?)

What about YOU?
What was YOUR pivotal moment?
Tell me in the comments: When did your truth emerge—unexpected yet undeniable? 💥

🚀 Exciting News & Triple Reasons to Celebrate! 🌍✨

Today is bursting with positivity, and I’m thrilled to share why!

1️⃣ 📚A BOOK LAUNCH CLOSE TO MY HEART (AND LENS)!
Martin Goodman’s incredible book, “My Head For a Tree” (Profile Books), celebrating the inspiring Bishnoi community of India, is OUT NOW in the UK and India—with Canada and the US coming soon! 🌱
I’m over the moon to have 20 of my photographs featured, including the powerful cover! Even more humbling? Seeing my name alongside Peter Wohlleben, author of “The Hidden Life of Trees“—a visionary who deeply influenced my work on forests. 📸✨ Thanks Martin and Mark Ellingham!

2️⃣ LESSONS FOR TODAY FROM 15TH-CENTURY ECO-WARRIORS!
In an era of urgent climate challenges, the Bishnois’ ancient wisdom—born from adapting to extreme drought in Rajasthan’s Thar Desert—feels more relevant than ever. 🌾
This is why I’ve made it my mission to amplify their story through my talk “Awaken the Bishnoi Within You” —helping global institutions and businesses rethink resilience, sustainability, and harmony with nature. Let’s learn from those who thrived by protecting the Earth centuries ago. 🌏💡

3️⃣ 🐍 HISTORIC GOOD VIBES!
Today also marks the start of the Year of the Snake— my zodiac year! Symbolizing wisdom, transformation, and rebirth, it feels like a cosmic nod to keep pushing for a future where people and planet thrive together. 🧧✨

When ancient wisdom, modern purpose, and a dash of serendipity align— anything feels possible. Here’s to embracing change, celebrating heritage, and writing a greener story for tomorrow.

Let’s connect, share ideas, and inspire each other to create meaningful change! 🌱✨

🌏 400 million pilgrims expected in India this week in Prayagraj!🙏✨

That’s equivalent to the entire population of the United States and Canada combined!

At the place where the Ganges meets the Yamuna, the two most sacred rivers of India, the Maha Kumbh Mela takes place every 12 years. 💦 This sacred festival attracts millions to the Sangam, the mystical spot where these two rivers converge. Pilgrims flock by boat or on foot to immerse themselves in these purifying waters. 🚣‍♂️👣

The Ganges stretches over 2,500 km, starting from the Gangotri glacier in the Himalayas, where an ashram has been established, all the way to the Bay of Bengal. 🌊🕉️

Along its journey, it becomes infused with oxygen — a true miracle, as it holds the record for dissolved oxygen! Scientists have yet to explain this phenomenon, which they call the « X Factor. » ❓🔬

Historically, the river was also a powerful healer, rich in bacteriophages capable of neutralizing bacteria. By drinking its water, people could rid themselves of certain infections. 🧪💧 However, today, this magical river is severely polluted, displaying alarmingly high levels of f***l matter and heavy metals. Its exceptional abilities are now at risk. The river is sick and needs our help.

Let’s take action to preserve this invaluable treasure!💚🌏

If you’d like to learn more, I offer talks aimed at inspiring your colleagues and clients by raising awareness about the importance of WATER 💦 and its preservation while exploring 8 major rivers around the world. An exciting journey! 💚🌏

🌍 Rediscover your inner child and let yourself be awed by the world around you! ✨

I passionately believe, just like the Little Prince by Saint-Exupéry, that rekindling our sense of wonder is essential for protecting those we love and nurturing our precious planet: the Earth. 🌱💚

I recently immersed myself in the two volumes of « Le Siècle Bleu » (The Blue Century) by , and I can’t recommend it highly enough! 📚 This enlightening journey reignited the “light” within me, all thanks to the most important person in my life: my incredible wife, . 💖

This revitalized energy is soaring, empowering me to share my insights through passionate talks about the Bishnois, Water, and the Creative Joy that drives us all! 🌊🎉

In 2002, during my hitchhiking adventure around the globe, I encountered the enchanting little Pity (just 3 years old) in Kibber, a stunning village perched at 4,270 meters in the Indian Himalayas. That magical moment after sunrise, filled with laughter and play, illuminated my spirit. 🌅 Her infectious joy, sparkling eyes, and untainted wonder profoundly inspired me. ✨

As we step into 2025, my heartfelt wish for you is: Rediscover your inner child and let the magic of amazement fill your life! 💫🌼

A Real-Life Halloween Forest in the French Alps 🎃🌳

While working on my forest project 📷 for , I discovered this enchanting forest in the French Alps. During the day, it’s a serene and beautiful place. But at night, the atmosphere shifts, and the forest takes on a spooky, almost mystical quality.

I spent hours here, alone with the trees, listening to the sounds of the forest. The eerie silence was occasionally broken by the rustle of leaves or the snap of a twig. One night, I was startled by a sudden noise behind me. It turned out to be a deer, but in that moment, my heart raced with fear.

This experience made me realize how easily nature can inspire both awe and fear. It's a reminder of the power of the natural world and the stories it can tell.

What's your favorite spooky season memory?

Saturday night was the Night! Not in space but on Earth!

It was such a great moment to see again my classmates from engineering school after more than 20 years for most of them! We didn’t stop talking. About our lives and remembering old memories we all had together.

Over 20 years ago, our classmate Anne Mottet’s boyfriend, Thomas Pesquet , came sometimes to our parties. Today he’s the most famous astronaut and inspires millions!

Saturday night, just back from New York, he was our DJ! 🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀

I am delighted to be contacted by the Guizhou Tourism Office 🇨🇳 to assist in promoting this incredible region known for its natural and cultural heritage. This aligns perfectly with my photographic work, as I focus on environmental issues and cultural legacies. Interestingly, I had the opportunity to hold a personal exhibition on the Bishnois in Dali, Yunnan, not far from Guizhou. During my Transboundary Rivers project, I was also on assignment in this region.

My journey with China now continues to the province of Guizhou, nestled in the mountainous southwest of China. It’s a land of dense forests, emerald waters, deep caves, rivers with boiling rapids, and traditional villages nestled in the mountains. Traditional villages dot the mountains, making it a treasure trove for outdoor adventures and cultural exploration. Let me highlight some of its remarkable features:

💧Huangguoshu Waterfall: This magnificent waterfall in Guizhou is a sight to behold. Its thundering waters plunge dramatically, surrounded by lush greenery.

🏞️ Mount Fanjing: Rising majestically, Mount Fanjing is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its unique rock formations and serene temples create an otherworldly atmosphere.

🍶 Spiritual Hub: Guizhou is known for producing some of China’s finest spirits. Whether you’re a connoisseur or just curious, exploring local distilleries is a must.

🧑🏻‍🦰👱‍♂️ Ethnic Diversity: Guizhou is home to various ethnic groups, each contributing to its rich cultural tapestry. Their traditions, festivals, and crafts add vibrancy to the region.

🔬Surprising Innovation: Beyond its natural beauty, Guizhou is a hub for science and technological innovation. It’s fascinating how this scenic province also embraces cutting-edge advancements.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Guizhou offers thrilling activities like jungle mountain biking 🚴‍♂️, low-altitude skydiving, and exploring vast underground cave networks. Notably, French explorer Jean Bottazzi ventured through the Shuanghe cave system, known as “China’s longest cave.” It’s a destination waiting to be discovered!

To learn more, consider visiting the exhibition “Guizhou: China’s Hidden Beauty” at the Chinese Cultural Center in Paris, starting on April 19, 2024.

In partnership with the Guizhou Tourism Office. 🌿🏞️🇨🇳
