Sexé Robert (w3378)
Hits: 20
- Description: Robert Sexé was a French reporter, photographer and motorcyclist. In 1926, together with Henri Andrieux, he rode 35,000 km (22,000 miles) around the world on Belgian-built Gillet Herstal motorcycles, departing Paris on 14 June and arriving in Brussels on 3 December. His earlier travels in the Soviet Union in 1926, along with his use of a Gillet Herstal motorcycle and his physical resemblance to the character, are considered a likely inspiration for Hergé's Tintin — the Hergé Foundation has acknowledged that it is not hard to imagine how Hergé could have been influenced by Sexé's exploits. He wrote for La Moto, La Revue de l'Automobile and Le Petit Parisien, and his photographs and articles were published in newspapers across France and Belgium. He died in 1986 in Poitiers
