Jacques Grieu

An engineer by training, Jacques Grieu, a Norman from Le Havre, is an arts amateur. He always wrote narratives and poems, on his pupil's exercise books, on paper tablecloths in restaurants or articles in magazines. It was already the case at 16, when he was a resident scholar in the Chamonix valley. Then later, when he was a mountain infantryman. But it is offshore, while sailing during numerous regatta throughout Europe, that he wanted to satisfy his competitive spirit. And, more calmly, he cruises between Belle-Ile and the Golfe du Morbihan for the last 50 years. He nevertheless had to wait for retirement to find the time to publish … The father of 3 children and 8 times grandfather, he continues to practice ski with his family. He is also an amateur of golf, chess and painting.
