“In 2016, I went on the slopes of K2 with François Damilano” “The avalanche swept away all our dreams” A huge avalanche swept through our camp 3 taking away all our equipment. Immense frustration and first learning to give up. The film “K2-A special day” Nomade Production is the result of this expedition. I'm going back in 2018, it's the meeting with Dawa Sangay Sherpa and a real step taken! Reaching the summit of K2 is nothing, after all!”

Solidarity project
The NGO Terre des hommes
As an ambassador for Terre des hommes, throughout my quest for the 14 peaks of more than 8,000 meters, I was committed to giving visibility to the organization's projects, in particular in Nepal and Pakistan, countries at the heart of my expeditions and where Terre des hommes carries out essential actions in favor of children and their families. Through my extraordinary career, I want to transmit a message of solidarity and perseverance, and thus contribute to strengthening the impact and reputation of Terre des hommes in its mission to protect children.
