what an existence effect of a life or
of many lives for a long time I have
ask the question
today when I work on me
and when I look at what I realized
the way I traveled I go
account that I was lucky enough to have
many lives
first of all let’s take the first one when
everything to everyone when I was born then that
I came child then teenager my
parents were rather people
poor with poverty on them one
also found a little bit
alcoholism violence they decided
to take a restaurant and with my
brothers and sisters we soon found ourselves
to bring tasks that was not
necessarily that of children peeled
until very late at night vegetables
clean the dishes finally all these
chores and very quickly we went
account that to get out it was necessary
that we find a kind of game to put
in place a life situation that can
to be reasonable for us is
acceptable and so we threw
small challenges that will make the biggest of
potato peels that will follow the
more glass such a time and one is
really stayed in this in this setting
for a very long time we managed to
stabilize the family business and is
very quickly
sport has emerged as a loophole
so I ran a lot I go up to
trees with my brothers and sisters and
a lot of things like that and the bike
arrived and then I did not take
quite like a means of transport
but rather as a means of freedom
loophole is a little bit too much
because today it costs me the
vehicle in which I am it was
really it was really important
to have this notion of always
come up challenges because in fact I
believe that I did not live my life like
I should have lived it was the one that
my parents had chosen he wanted
that I take over the restaurant and when
you have a life that is
and already expected that’s the one you
do not know what you do not know
no others do you realize that a
accident bah it can be an opportunity to
change of life very quickly I got
found so with this accident a
commonplace accident we slip into one in a
turn we fall on a pebble we get
break my back when I say it’s a
certain banality is not a banality
but that’s what happens to a lot of
people today that’s what’s happening
after he becomes just so strong
for the life of a person
I was in a coma and I got
found at the hospital with bunge
disabled up to the level of
chest all my lower limbs do not
was working more a great suffering
and then this idea this idea really
deep to escape all this the
suicidating it was very strong during
very long until I fall back
in a coma because of a problem
pulmonary and that I find myself in this
famous white tunnel if you have any
not heard you will hear
talk to me I did not know and
it is true that at that moment we are
found in a situation in
which one is good but we have just one
problem because I’m called this is
a problem we look at ourselves we find ourselves
not in the case of judgment but rather
in a reality of what we realized
in his life and there we say to ourselves what is this
what did I do that I did not do
what should I have done and
I really felt like I had the
choice me who wanted to die either from
move on the other side or be staying
and leave with the idea of ​​having
peels in luggage since I have not
a too much to show that day
I left saying well he must
I live it was really a boom
where a springboard to go back into the
life and it was like a new
competition becomes I live like that I
always been used like that but the
only thing is that I wanted more
live that for me I thought to myself if I
want to live if I found myself again
in this white tunnel there with some
thing I have to live for me with
others and for others it was
really something very important
to be able to have a
reason to be there then
well all that can be put in
before in a person’s life
disabled
how am I going to get out so the
first fight it was to succeed in
hold in a chair so very
often we take the chair as
something difficult to accept
I can tell you that without him
would be very unhappy because I
can not move me
so that’s already the first thing to
then accept to be able to have this
notion of life perspective what is this
that I will do tomorrow how am I going
to get out and especially do I
is going to be someone that sounds like it sounds
something quite innocuous for
many of us but tell ourselves
am I going to be someone that’s
because because I did not know the
everything that was going to happen to me I got
typed as I could have been like
you see it’s going today and I’m
Am I saying I take the word factors
sport alone that I had two like
real communication with the rest of the
beyond the metro population
contemporary and I decided to make
table tennis but I decided to
do really like Thursday with this
notion of doing it with others and
for others and I actually have one
positive result for me as well
obviously table tennis I am
become international table tennis
so I play at a great level in a year
for national 1 french and then to
international level in in a lot
from two levels to so-called
the team of France but here is not
the actual france team but finally not
far and I realized that
through this sport through his travels
on the national territory and
international in fact what
I was most interested in
meetings actually I realized
that it was not an airplane
to take on a trip is the people
who have met and I can you
ensure that I was very rich there
because I met
exceptional people in my life
it was really very important to
that level and to be able to share to
around the world with cultures
different from different desires
and with its values ​​it was very
important and very rewarding so
I had
than 22 years old in my accident and this
which was really important too that’s
the environment often we forget we think about
the disabled person is forgotten
entourage for my wife so my friend
at that moment she was there before
the accident
during the accident and after the accident
and in a reconstruction we also want
build a family because that’s
natural and so very quickly we wanted
have children
and there we found ourselves again in
a new life competition because
that as I read you in gt1 I am
disabled up to the level of the chest
so all the sexual organs all everything
which could have this facility for
to have children in a natural setting
we did not have it and so to go
very quickly we get closer to the
test tube baby solution
but I pay tribute to
accompanying people today because we have
tried fifteen times with my wife 15 times
in the tent in in this kind of
quote that could continue after us
but especially in bassar ashore
it was difficult and this perseverance
she had it I thought it was great so
I pay tribute today and I
realize that it’s something
thing that brought us since I
three children and I’m even grandpa
so here it is and it was very important
but what was it that was also very
important in this action it is
accounts for what they were like
I said useful in the life of
people who were in a condition
wants to validate me my obsession was to
to be able to teach my child or my
kids to ride a bike that seems all
stupid
I know my grandfather had learned
to my father my father had taught me it’s
maybe one of the only moments where he
there is precisely 7.7 this family strength
and of friendship or what remained to us I
recalls from his hand when I left
for the first time by bike and I
managed to take my kids to do
bicycles and then I almost became a
professional because I learned to
half of the municipality to ride a bike
it was it I assure you a
something wonderful and in
then refusing we needed a
home and so as I wanted
participate in all I did a little bit
the decline he is and I found myself
again to the hospital because I’m
am made a hope by doing plaster
or I do not know what attack to action
it was completely different and I
realized how rich it is
brought to do things together
I ended up at the hospital and I
must wait for me there is still worth the
blow a tea the kids are there your wife
is there friends are there and you have when
even create something and I found
that it was that strength and I
really he really had the impression
but it’s not that an impression is
really something reindeer that
could create his life by our actions
and that it was important and that all
the days we can do something
important to be able to find
in this situation I come back on
the sport so I was international and
I prepared Jordan it was an I
go an international tournament there
so it must be said that it’s pretty much
three months of quite intensive training
and during those three months the one shot
wire at home and I’m asked to
participate in elections by being on
a list I do not know why I say
Okay
finally if I know why I am but
I want to be top of the list in fact to
through all my travels through this
that I did I always noticed
that we used a little bit the
disability as a claim as a
good deed means that I am
handed medals but we got
did not realize that behind there
had the whole life of the person
disabled is often bitter I can
talk about the seas because I’m mayor
put a medal and it was the right
action of the day and then after
talk about his room paul vilalte
versatile his political program
and there I said no if you go to
elections it’s very important that this
me who gives the media and you
talk things down to the bottom and
it was very important
so I propose to the ridges head of
list he reminds me he puts me head of
list and I become I become mayor of
my commune
it was something that was
important because it gave me two
things in the possibility of expressing myself
but also a responsibility by
relation to sea ​​areas and other
people in wheelchairs we are very little in
la France
I think we are three or four
people with disabilities at
less paraplegic them so that was becoming
even officials from both successes
was really very important work of
mayor it was something that I did not
not sure at all it was still a small
gift from the city and
so I did like for tennis
table I did that when I was a kid
I worked very hard to know
the records can be a little bit
all the geopolitical structures that
I did not know anything about it with
administered people who
work with me the commune we have
worked on the values ​​before
work on projects that this
we were doing there why we were here and
how can we do something
well together the project it comes after
and after that there was also this notion
to say here I still have the chance
to be one of the only mayors in
handicap situation we need to talk
of disability and that we take the most
far possible it became a real one
true of challenges as usual and
so we started by setting up
houses
adaptable it means on the commune one
has a small commune does not have a very
big budget we did the trick
of all the institutions and we have
managed to make two houses with them a
room two bedrooms one bathroom
adapted wild on the ground finally see
something that was still very
very friendly and we managed to
do that for 7000 euros
by seeking grants in
going for help and rent
moderate and allows for largely paying
a small loan that goes with
so it was very positive we went up
until the Senate we proposed that by saying
this is very important appointment
account in the communes there are a lot
of aging people ago
many people in situation of
handicap they always have a same
social and cultural environment of the day
overnight if it breaks a leg in
we have many in a park
real estate we’ll say from the 40s
50 with a lot of stairs and was sending
it was still impressive
was seeing an ambulance or looking for
someone elderly enough who had
broken the neck of the femur and send
the Caribbean ambulance in the vire at
green could for a femoral neck
it was very simple actually the person
ends up in the hospital after center
rehabilitation after Basel is embittered and
but the problem is that they
could not go home and so
in the east at the long stay and then the
depressed is because do not see his friends
everything she has known all her life
retirement home 1st 2nd Floor
we call it like that and death and
so with these houses we had this
alternative to allow them to
come back on the wait sector d
layout of their house and power
revive and also to allow a
population to stay there we went to
senate it was very much followed by the
senators
alas his arrival news
elections and everything went down the drain
it’s sad it’s a system
it was more the same interlocutors one
always had the project that was
outstanding and that was very good
which was viable and it fell into the water
the only problem is we had a
second challenge to finally climb a second
subject that brought us a lot of
it was accessibility accessibility
to go very quickly in 1975
we realized that there was
still need to insert the
population with disabilities in
the society
so there is a question that has arisen
there is a reflection one reaches until
2005 me it’s been thirty years since I
in wheelchair to tell you so in 2005
we have a law that was very nice and that
says in 2015 all the erp and so all
establishments receiving the public
this one for example must be adapted
the only problem is it’s called
legislation or budget behind
that means we had nothing
fundamental to be able to do it
it was the goodwill of people and
not even because in fact there was no
budget and very quickly we went
account that a mayor over ten years ago there
a three almost the first one said badly
second will sort the second said
there it will be the third third
quarter of colleagues did not do
why I will do it in 2014 they will
realize that it was not
possible
alas the spear the adapt 1 this is the
accessibility day and one by
plus 6 9 years, ie
that today is in 2018 is for
go until 2023 what is it
for you 2023 these five years what is
that it’s for me it’s cp ce1 ce2 cm1
cm2 that’s what it’s
a company in which we can not
go back while looking for a job
what is it a dentist
who we can not go to when we have
a toothache it was important to
see what is the time for us is
what is the real time so very
quickly we launch a new action with
claims but we decide what
name could do that with the state but the
iron with the population and there we launch a
challenge to the state that was very simple
what is the easiest
today for a person in
disability situation like me from
to mount the kilimanjaro
houas father elected mayor of the republic of
ability to bring claims
I will go pragmatic against is at the level
of State
their kilimandjaro it was mounted and not
not with sportsmen
I could have taken colleagues
I could have taken it but with
people of society people like you
there was a craftsman there was a
doctor there was a nurse there
had a farmer and we wanted
to show that in fact it was the whole
company that was completely anchored
in dance is in this action
so you see there we went upstairs
kilimanjaro
so what’s interesting is that
we were with Tanzanians and so
all these people there and I the
thank you today you will see
we will thank them
they were great because they
saw that we were not tourists
were not sports
we were people who wore
thing
the claims were very simple
it was to be able to make available
it and in all the communes of France
adapted ramps that means that if
for example one of you has a
company and ask me to come
to work at home is not because
that there are two steps that can not me
take because the phone at the
town hall where I phone the town hall
I arrive I take this ramp and I
take them with me it was some
very important thing because it’s
something simple that before
every trade is a small
doorbell one way I go to the
bakery it’s sunday morning it
there are already six people in front of us it’s
very difficult to say what you
do you want to push for me
can go back and witness it
sound we have a citizen gesture we know
that there is someone his little lady with
a stroller mom or daddy we get
put the baker out and I say
what do you want sir jean two
or three pages and no need to visit
the bakery every time so this
simplicity there we tried to put it
in place and asked that a part
of the parliamentary reserve could be
used since it had been deleted
and wishes by gleaning targeted towards
accessibility for the so-called hands
you well that these ramps it’s not
nothing for mayors either because
for example I have four chapels
with us who serve once in
the year for forgiveness I had for 80
thousand euros to be able to develop them
without yet going through the heritage and
architecture that a morality no doubt
blocked
so we ended up with this species
common sense it gave to the mayor
the opportunity for example for forgiveness
to give the ramp we went back in
came out of lachapelle you did not ask
problem
guess we were really in the know
of iron 89 thousand euros of economy of the
put other things caen finds himself
in this in this situation has it
taken something to give
something positive
so we set up the abc it was
in front of every commune of France will have
a small sticker to abc that will climb
level 2 the level of accessibility
of the commune if I have all and
accessible so cb ben that’s entering
achievement and six trials in studies
it’s still very interesting because
that it put people in the
real situation
it means that we ask the
population to come closer to
people
here I have a lot of time and so
that’s what I’m going to tell you I ‘m going
to tell you that my life was a little
little difficult at times like my
accident I consider it a gift
my the wrapped it’s true it’s
difficult at first but it really
allowed to discover something else and I
am very very happy i can you
ensure despite the situation is what
I have to say also that now
I was really scared of death because
than me because I have a good life
here
