Herd of sheeps and goats crossing the road in front of a car at the Col du Glandon in Savoie this autumn (France). I allowed myself a small modification of the traffic sign to give priority to the herd over the car, the mountain being the territory of wildlife and not humans. :-)

We were making our way from Grenoble city up to the Fort de la Bastille. It’s a long series of steep, winding roads to get to the top and we welcomed a short break on hike up. I captured this moment of my friend Alex overlooking Grenoble and I think it came out beautifully.

Paragliding in Massif de Balme (La Clusaz), France

  110 km from Écrins


Whilst skiing this paraglider launched from the piste next to me. Luckily I had my camera in a back pack and after some fumbling was able to share his vista gliding down into the valley. Really pleased to catch a moment with better contrast whilst he was framed against the sky rather than the darker forest

Mountain range in Mont Blanc, France

This February me and my wife took a long planned trip snowboarding to Chamonix. We stayed in a small village just outside the main town centre called La Praz which gave us fantastic views of the Mt Blanc range. One afternoon whilst taking our daily walk back to our amazing hotel, I managed to capture this epic shot of the sun slicing through the range to spotlight one of the peaks. Hope you guys enjoy.

travelers stories about Hill station in Le Boréon, France

Hill station in Le Boréon, France

  117 km from Écrins


As we were adventuring in wolves’ territory in the Parc National du Mercantour, the weather suddenly changed. That’s pretty common in the mountains. The blazing sun left the place for a thick fog. Soon enough, the tree-covered hills were drowned in the mists. I’ve always wanted to shoot these landscapes of grey trees and mist. However, these are hard to come by in Montréal. So I couldn’t let this opportunity slip away and just fired at will. This is one of many other misty pics. Hope you’ll enjoy them.

Forest in Le Boréon, France

  117 km from Écrins


On the frontier of the National Park of Mercantour, next to a wolves preservation center, there’s this small cabin. As we were getting drenched, the view reminded me of Cabin Porn (one of my favorite books) and I couldn’t help but get into the rain and snap a picture inspired by the great photographers who contributed to CP. This picture is also like a mirage of a promised land, far from civilization and noise, in harmony with nature.
