By an exceptional combination of circumstances, he became the beneficiary of the collaborationist writer Lucien Rebatet. At the age of 22, while writing a master's thesis at the Sorbonne, he discovered his Histoire de la musique[2] and grew passionate about its author. On this occasion, he met Pierre Darrigrand, Rebatet's executor, who before dying of cancer asked him to become, in turn, the beneficiary of the writer.[3]

He has collaborated with Le Figaro littéraire, Madame Figaro, Le Figaro Magazine and Le Spectacle du Monde.

In December 2008, he was terminated by his director Marc-Olivier Dupin for blasphemy and pornography after broadcasting a bawdy version of the Christmas carol Il est né, le divin Enfant.

He is the author of several short stories, essays and novels, notably Othon ou l'Aurore immobile, crowned with the Prix Roger Nimier in 2002.
