With Dominique Potard, mountaineering is the very antithesis of glory. "The effort, the thirst, the fear, in a matter of seconds dry out the mouth. Since some ascents last several days, why waste such magnificent thirsts with water?" His first novel, Le Port de la Mer de Glace, is a small revolution in mountain literature. For the first time, the world of mountaineers is desacralized, humor bursts into mountain narratives, but always with a great tenderness for the environment to which he belongs.
- He is also the author, published by Guérin, of Skieurs du ciel, Les Refuges du Mont-Blanc and co-author of Berhault and Les Enfants du Mont-Blanc.
