Né le 11 novembre 1937 à Villeneuve-Saint-Georges (Val de Marne) d’un père casanier originaire d’une ferme en Auvergne et d’une mère parisienne qui avait le goût du voyage. Mes premiers souvenirs de la vie sont ceux d’un monde en guerre. Ce qui explique peut-être ma vie sur la route, cette quête menée sur le terrain pour savoir si les hommes seront un jour capables d’établir la paix.
