Hauts de France, de village en village - extrait- Échappées belles

Hi Steve! I thought you were going to go out all blue! Hi Steve! How are you? I'm great, and you? Perfect! You know I'm cold for you? No, it's fine. The water is 19°C. Really? The air is a bit cooler. Yes, it's cooler than 19°C here. There's good light and good energy. Remind me of your records. I think you have a record on the sleeve. Yes, we have the round trip, the Tourette, the sleeve, so 105 km of swimming. So the round trip is 105 km? Yes. In how many hours? 35 hours. So you swim for 35 hours. How long do you stop once you're in… When I arrived in France, I went to England. When I arrived in France, I stopped for 4 minutes and 22 seconds. Really? Yes. The time to put on some Vaseline and eat a little sandwich and go back. Four minutes to go back for 17 hours of… 20 hours of swimming to get back. I did 15 hours on the way and 20 hours on the way back. That's incredible. So it's extreme swimming? Yes, completely. We're really in contact with the elements, so that's why I gained weight. Really? Yes, because normally I'm a lot drier. OK. I'm 63 kg. I'm a marathon runner, so when I talk to you, I'm at 110 kg. That's great. I'm delighted to have you here. I'll show you around my city. OK, let's go. It's a machine. Apparently you know it. Of course. Does everyone know it here? I'm not from here, but I know it. It's a reputation. Where are you from? From Savoy. Oh, yes. In Savoy, we know... Of course. It's a machine. Yes. A man who doesn't fear cold water. Yes. Not only cold water, but distance as well. Yes, distance as well. Great. Congratulations. Thank you very much. You're a great swimmer. Incredible. You see, people know you from everywhere. It happens to you often, I imagine. Yes. It's true that people like to talk to me too. They follow me. It's true that I follow them everywhere. There's also an unusual character, because I see people trying to take pictures of you. They say, what's he doing in a swimsuit? It's going to change. Is it this way? Yes, it's this way. OK, it works. Ah, here you are. Warmed up? Yes, dressed. That's it. It feels good. Well, I was looking. It's quite pretty, these shades that change. We find lights that are very different, very sunny, suddenly very white. It's the cloudy sky, that's the Opal Coast. These variations of green, blue, that's what makes it charming. No, the coast is beautiful. We're going to take a closer look at the small villas. Yes, it works. Let's take a little tour of the island. Yes. There are already beautiful facades here. How long has it been a seaside resort? It was built a little later, when the train arrived in 1870, which really made us discover the resort. And also the notables who came too, because there was a great casino here too. A beautiful golf course. So there are the English, the Belgians who also came to this resort. OK. Yes. OK. Yes. Merci Philippe. Merci beaucoup. Exactly. OK. Allez. Allez, au revoir. Philippe is the boss. Let me introduce you. It looks like a big company. Yes, yes. It's Ancestral. Philippe. Philippe, how are you? Yes. Let me introduce you, Jérôme. Nice to meet you. What a pleasure. Welcome to Boulogne. Thank you very much. Thank you. What kind of challenge do you have? Listen, there is another race in the United States. My season is in the United States. I have one left before the end of the year. So I need fuel. Yes. You are the official supplier of a champion. It's a chance. We're going to take a little tour so you can choose your products. Yes, of course. We're going to let them dry. They're comfortable. Large size. Yes, it's good. Tell me, we're good here. We're ready here. Here is our Hadok, the second specialty of the house. We have the roll. See you soon, Jérôme. I can't see anymore. I'm going to go.
