Head of safety and fire prevention at Veolia Energy, sponsors the nonprofit organization "Loisirs Assis Evasion".

"I started skiing very young and have tried everything: downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, mountain climbing etc. I was fortunate in being able to share this interest with my whole family. Unfortunately, my sonin-law was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis five years ago. For him,my daughter and their children, skiing was no longer possible. I found that unacceptable. In Chamonix, I met a mountain guide who specializes in working with disabled people. He was a member of the non-profit organization Loisirs Evasion and suggested that I do a training course to qualify for tandem skiing. I did so and the whole family started going skiing again. I have remained with Loisirs Assis Evasion, which changed its name and diversified into other activities for disabled people, including wheelchair trekking and tandem hang-gliding. As often as I can, I participate in tandem skiing with disabled people. I also try to put my professional skills at the service of the organization: the facilities in ski resorts are not yet very accessible to disabled people and to win this combat you have to bring the different laws to the attention of developers. We do a lot of lobbying with resort managers, manufacturers and installers and the public authorities. I contribute technical advice. We are starting to make our voice heard."
