“My 2017 Manaslu is not valid I did not reach the highest point of the mountain. In good faith and without knowing it, Dorjee and I stopped at the last minute. Without qualms, it's obvious, I'm going back: 20 minutes, 20 meters, 20,000 dollars... all for that. But it has the merit of putting the church back in the middle of the village! “

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.
