He cultivates a primitive hairy look, with a big bushy beard. He was born with the art of the ... euh !... les tâuw tâuw de le bycyclets... but the beard came later. The clogs, which he wears all the time, were made by the last clog-maker of Alsace (to be seen every first Saturday of the month in the market at Veitbruch). He has been doing stunts and tumbles of all sorts ever since the day he tried to escape from his push-chair. The corridors of the Centre National des Arts du Cirque in Chalons-en-Champagne still ring with his gargantuan laughter.
