About
As a quick summary: Parisian and bank manager from 1975 to 1989, launcher of a navigation company on the Seine in 1989, then expatriated to South Africa in Cape Town... Magnificent country where I launched my companies in tourism and wine. Then returned to France in 2007 to make another dream come true: launching a luxury hotel barge to organize cruises. Project materialized in 2008 on the Canal du Midi. And now? Barge sold in 2022. And back to South Africa in Cape Town after several years in Portugal and the Reunion Island (Indian Ocean). Managing my company: French-Le Cap for Tour Operating and Tour Guiding.
