General
NATURE LOVER
He enjoys spending time outdoors either fishing or hunting, and also keeps bees to produce honey. "I spent the first years of my life in Goumois [France], and at age eight I went to trout fishing all alone. And every year I return there. It is a marvellous place. [When I lived] in Paris, once I finished my training I went fishing by the Marne or by the Seine. Now in Sologne [France, where he lives] I go fishing by the ponds. Right now, my beehives are in Sologne. I produce around 100 kilograms of honey every year." (estrepublicain.fr, 03 Feb 2021)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
He has served as manager of the French federation of bow hunting [FFCA], and is a member of the Association of Sportsmen Practising Hunting Activities [ASPAC]. "We organise charitable hunting sessions. It is also important to make people understand that we are not a band of butchers who have fun by killing animals." (estrepublicain.fr, 03 Feb 2021)
