At 45, after 25 years with the French National Railway Company (SNCF), we decided to leave France for good.
Nelly and I sold our house, our cars, and almost everything we owned. We bought a 1978 MAN 4x4, spent two years converting it, and then set off on a new adventure abroad.
And of course… nothing went as planned.
Barely 100 kilometers after our departure, the truck broke down in the middle of the night.
We had to completely rethink our plans.
Then came Paraguay.
A country we had never even visited.
But today, after three years here, we announced something that surprised many:
WE'RE SELLING EVERYTHING
So why sell a project we built with our own two hands?
In this video, I tell you the whole story, from my time working for the French National Railway Company (SNCF) to our departure from France and our arrival in Paraguay...
No perfect life.
No manufactured dream.
Just our story, with the good times, the mistakes, the struggles, and the decisions that changed our course.
👉 And you, would you have left everything behind at our age to start over somewhere else?

« Vous savez quelle est la différence entre nous deux ? Vous avez passé votre vie à raconter ce que font les autres. C’est pratique : c’est beaucoup plus facile que de faire les choses soi-même, vous voyez ce que je veux dire ?
Nous, quand on fait quelque chose, on fait des fautes, on fait des choses bien et d’autres moins bien. C’est le lot de tous les gens qui font des choses. »
