November 2024
Hello everyone,
Fireworks at La Rochelle’s Grand Pavois
The past month started off in great shape at the Grand Pavois in La Rochelle: autograph sessions, meetings such as Antoine Albeau (the topmost medal-winning athlete in France), Alain Pochon (boss of the Grand Pavois) and the France Bleu La Rochelle team.
I was still very moved to meet the legendary Damien sailboat, whose voyages had inspired me so much 50 years ago! I also visited the stand of our partner, the insurer Pantaenius, to talk about the insurance needed for long-distance travel.
The Grand Pavois ended in style with a fireworks display over the ancient walls of La Rochelle.
Lorient Express : I made a very fast round trip by train (1h30 late for the high speed train!) for the launch of the Festival des aventuriers de la Mer, organized by GlobeSailor, who welcomes us during the Boat Shows, in the presence of the legendary pianist and navigator Marieke Huysmans-Berthou.
Les Clés d’une vie, 4th time around : It is indeed the fourth time that my almost twin Jacques Pessis has invited me to his show “Les Clés d’une vie”; we talked about great memories, and about our upcoming tour in CGR cinemas, but also about the extraordinary adventure of the 11 new versions of my song Touchez Pas A La Mer ( Do Not Harm The Sea), an initiative about which he published a very detailed paper in Lefigaro.fr
Autumn in bloom : Then we returned to Auvergne, where the end of November is very mild: the "poppies" or California poppies, compete for the spotlight with the cosmos.
Coming soon French Tour :
For all those who live in the western part of France, go to your CGR from November 13 to 30.
Until next time, I wish you a superb month of November... a month that starts with two long weekends is worth a lot, isn’t it?
