"Siegfried" concert in Lyon

A very moving weekend, as my "Siegfried" was shown in a great live performance by the Lyon National Orchestra. Wagner's music was conducted by Andris Poga from an arrangement by Hank de Vlieger. Image editing by Vincent Goujon.

"LE CHÂTEAU DES ÉTOILES" in stores this week! (french edition)

In "le Château des étoiles" ("Castle in the Stars"), the space race begins 100 years early!

The year is 1868. Aeronaut Claire Dulac disappears in a daring high-altitude ballon flight. A year later her husband, engineer Archibald Dulac, and her son Séraphin receive an anonymous letter : someone has recovered Claire's flight log, and promises stunning revelations… The pair travel to Bavaria where they discover that a secret space program has started in king Ludwig's own castle. His goal: to send men into space before 1870!
