I am often asked where that long enduring interest for Mongolia comes from. Here is the little story: The first time I heard about Mongolia was from my grand father and his tale as a war prisoner during world war II. I must have been 7 or 8 years old. Both my grand fathers in the French army had been prisoners in Germany during the war. One of them, Louis, had been rescued in late 1944 by a detachment of Mongol soldiers who had joined the war under Soviet commandment. Mongolia was part of the Soviet block at the time. As a child, I remember the sparks of light in my grand father’s eyes and laugthers as he described how the German had run away at the first sights of those foreign and strong Asian men coming from a remote country he had barely heard of before, assaulting the camp and delivering all prisoners. He used to describe how all prisoners, American, British, French and the Mongol soldiers jumped at each others arms euphorically. This scene left in my mind an indelible picture and a first interest in Mongolia and Mongols. I thought I probably owed that country and these people my grand father’s life. I am heading back to Mongolia right now, just on time for the beginning of the winter, where I will be on assignment for @avauntmag magazine and completing a personal project. #mongolia #mongol #avauntmagazine

In homage and memory of Hodda Saadi. Hodda was celebrating her sister's 36th birthday on Friday evening with her friends and family at the terrace of the café "La belle équipe". She was the first person I saw when I reached the scene, right after the shooting happened. There was an eerie silence, it felt like being in a dream, the smell of gun powder was still strong. Her brother was by her side, comforting her the best he could. The birthday celebration had come to an abrupt and violent end. Her brother survived but Hodda and her sister did not. She could have been my friend, my sister. Instead I had never met her until then, but that brief moment I saw her laying on the ground as she was living her last moment was enough for me to care and love her as a I would have for a dear friend. Rest in peace Hodda, I will never forget You. #rip #hoddasaadi #labelleequipe #love #🇫🇷 #fluctuatnecmergitur #halimasaadi

3 short days in Tokyo. Time here is always too short and each time it is very hard to leave Japan. I used to live in Tokyo a few years ago and this country has a very special place in my heart. Heading West now to Korea for the next week. Here is the stunning view of the Nihonbashi area from my hotel room. One of the best city hotel in the world #mandarinorientaltokyo #日本 #tokyo #koreabound #nihonbashi #blessedlife

In the last ten years, I have had the opportunity to travel to Mongolia more than 10 times, exploring different parts of the country during different seasons. Winter is my favorite time to travel there. That season lasts about 8 months and brings extreme temperatures that make everyday life very challenging, especially in the countryside. I have always been very impressed with the resilience and ingenuity Mongols show everyday during those harsher days. Their ability to work and withstand extreme temperatures has always baffled me. I found them to be some of the most resistance and hardened people on Earth. On this picture, a family being evacuated during a Winter snow storm. Tsengel, Western Mongolia.
