At 49 years old, Xavier Dumoulin had his first professional life as a mountain guide, traveling for almost 10 years. He works for La Balaguère* and travels to Cape Verde, Madeira, the Lofoten Islands in Norway and on circuits in the Hautes-Pyrénées, notably around Cauterets, Néouvielle and Gavarnie. 15 years ago now, he swapped the backpack for a camera after the arrival of his first child.
