Madam, Sir, In 1985, secured by many authorizations, it was granted to me to intervene as a sculptor on cliffs of Ganil, between Saint-Cirq-Lapupie and Bouzies, in the department of the Batch. For the anecdote, one as of the these authorizations emanating of the regional Management of the cultural Affairs stipulated that "the speaker had right has 2 m² cliff to register there with his expenses and without harming the environment a low-relief, provided that this one is out-the-sight public" (thereafter, the director of the DRAC returned to me in other words)
... in fact, the places, at the time, were attended little, it is there that I installed my building site on which I camped two consecutive summers with the foot of known as cliffs, with same this tow path fallen in disuse and invaded by the vegetation. Thus I had any leisure to work in calms and serenity without being likely to skin the eye of whoever with the risks of my work to the always dubious and criticizable results. At the end of the second be (1986), it is by the office of the mouth with ear that my camping saw arriving of the world. such point that it became difficult to work; facing bouquets of nettles brambles and small beasts, I counted to 100 people per individually coming day or in family to see what I manufactured under this rock face. Their curiosity also caused to open with good number of them the discovery of this marvellous place which, since, was the subject of tourist installation that one knows to him.
