Caravane Palace

I am admiring entrepreneurs. Their courage, their vision, their passion, their obsession (s) and the silence that sometimes accompany the moments of doubt touch me ... Alone or in collaboration, these creators have in them this madness to go on an adventure without knowing the journey that awaits them, to leave the port aboard a boat they built themselves. The considerable investment of time and money is indispensable ... But it condemns to delicate choices where the first victim is often their family. Although it is a "professional project", I see it as an intimate journey. Faced with themselves, entrepreneurs discover unsuspected strengths and confront their inner demons. Guided by their dreams, they brave the difficulties, and give us to see the strength of conviction and, as far as I'm concerned, impose respect on me.

Caravane palace, beginning of history

The series that follows traces some stages in the history of Caravane Palace, a company created in 2017 by two friends, Emily and Morgane, supported by Séverine. The ambition was to revive the Cormery campground by adding the possibility for campers to sleep in vintages caravans. The purpose of this report is to tell in pictures behind the scenes of this creation from the virgin ground of any installation until the arrival of the first caravans and the musical inauguration…

"Délicatesse"

May 2017, here is finally the first caravan “Délicatesse”. A surprising moment where the joy of a long-awaited arrival mixes with the weariness accumulated over the past few months. “Délicatesse” is the physical birth of this adventure, the materialization of the dream of its creators. And as a newborn, family and friends come to discover the youngest.

Official inauguration

July 29, 2017: the campsite has been running for a few weeks and it is finally the time of the official inauguration. After “Délicatesse”, new caravans arrived. One of them is specially equipped to prepare meals that accompany the end of sunny days of summer. Local and regional political representatives, partners, friends gathered to celebrate this day led by the band Sergent Hendrick.

Beginning of a serie

As Belgian photographer Michaël Ferire says, “the work of passionate people is not just a result.” This report perfectly illustrates these words. The courage, the vision, the passion and the obsession of these artists who make their projects incredible. For all these reasons, entrepreneurial photography has become a real passion to me and other series are in progress …qui rendent leurs projets incroyables. Pour toutes ces raisons, la photographie d’entrepreneur est devenue une vraie passion et d’autres séries sont en cours…
