[1][2] In October 1967, with François Chevalier he set up a non-profit association under the name of Nouvelles Frontières to democratize travel and try to bring a cultural dimension.
He worked to build his company in the form of an integrated network including 200 agencies, two airlines, Corsair International and AeroLyon[2] and a hotel chain, mainly in the Antilles.
On 7 April 2004, he became CEO of Eurotunnel after a very stormy general meeting which overthrew the old management with the help of Nicolas Miguet and a majority of small shareholders.
[7] He also created the humanitarian association Feu vert pour le développement and directs the magazine Témoignage Chrétien.
On 17 January 17, 2006, he invested 800,000 euros in the EasyVoyage group founded by Jean-Pierre Nadir alongside Francis Reversé , former boss of 3615 Degriftour, pioneer of electronic commerce in terms of travel sales.
