A beautiful view of Toulouse, the heart of aeronautics and space in France, and its pink brick colours! It took me a long time to capture the capital of Occitania, but it's worth it. You can see my school ISAE-supaero and the runways of the airport where I was taking off from for Air France and for Airbus flight tests. A nod to the Toulouse stadium too!

Une belle vue de Toulouse, cœur de l’aéronautique et de l’espace en France, et de ses couleurs de brique rose ! J’ai mis du temps à capturer la capitale de l'occitanie, mais elle en vaut la peine. On y voit mon école l’ISAE-supaero et les pistes de l’aéroport d’où je décollais pour Air France et pour Airbus flight tests. Clin d’œil aussi au Stade Toulousain !

L’entraînement reprend fin mars pour un décollage en 2021!

Hello to all! I haven't been very present recently but things are starting to move! I'm joining Houston and NASA at the end of March to start training. Finally! Goal: launch in the second half of 2021, on the SpaceX Crew Dragon or the Boeing CST-100. Neither the exact date nor the vehicle are known just yet (do you have a preference? ), but we have to start working! I also have a lot of pictures left of my Proxima mission... so we're going to try to post some of these from time to time, to remind me of the view and give me motivation. As I'll launch from Cape Canaveral, let's start with a view of the most beautiful shades of blue on the planet: the Bahamas!!!
