About
Instructor for 20 years and originally from the Parisian region, Paul relies on relaxation and fun when it comes to teaching. Paul discovered skiing at 4 years old, this practice has been an eye opener for him. Great ski and mountain enthusiast, it is for those reasons that he became an instructor at the ESF several years ago. Since his arrival at Courchevel in 2001, Paul has evolved a lot, both on his teaching method and his skiing style. According to him, Courchevel is an atypical and timeless ski resort. His favorite slope is the Combe des Pyrônes and his favorite off-piste skiing spot is the Creux Noirs. 

For Paul, the ESF proudly teaches the mountain people’s values which, while they can be harsh, are most of all based on solidarity. In agreement with the general consensus, Paul praises the many thrills that skiing gives, but most all, he praises the freedom to move around breathtaking winter landscapes. Having an adventurous spirit, Paul has had the pleasure to ski down many mountains with his students, each mountain being different but still providing the same feelings. 

Outside of the slopes, Paul works as a marketing consultant and also as a bike tour guide, which allows him to stay in touch with nature.

His best teaching memories are the moments spent with the participants of the competition training courses.
