He has represented France in multiple summer and winter Paralympic Games, first competing in fencing at the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta. He chose fencing because it seemed different.

There is also this ceremonial aspect about it which I wasn't aware of and found very interesting." (interviewsport.fr, 01 Jul 2010)
