Anne-France DAUTHEVILLE, French journalist and author
Born on 22 March 1944 in Paris. Studied literature at the Sorbonne. Career as a copywriter in advertising. May '68 and its strikes; I bought myself the only vehicle I could ride without a licence: a 50cc Honda. Then I got my motorcycle licence, happiness. In 1972, I abandoned my life and Parisian existence to travel the world alone on my motorbike, to write books and articles, happiness. Travel books, novels, books on plants, various reports from all over; I am 81 years old, I am still published, happiness has never left me since.
