Your favorite trip?
Definitely a cycling trip in the Alps, to Briançon, with the legendary climbs of the Galibier, Izoard and Granon.

A travel anecdote about you?
I got to watch a stage of the Tour de France next to the famous “El Diablo.”

Your favorite French region and why?
The Pyrenees, for its mountain passes with wild and natural landscapes.

A must-try French specialty?
Out of local pride, I’d say the tièle, an iconic specialty from the town of Sète.

I’m faster on a bike than in a car.

Amazement.
