Michel Fauquet

Philippe Batoux and Michel Fauquet, a mountain guide and teacher at the National School of Ski and Mountaineering, will let you discover the role of a mountain guide through beautiful scenery, filmed in the mountains at the heart of the action. But also through the historian guide Claude Gardien and Bernard Prud'homme, guide and former director of the Chamonix tourist office. These two witnesses tell us about their vision of this professional activity through time and economic conditions while projecting into the future, without forgetting the climate change of our planet and its impact on the business. François Marsigny, in charge of the ENSA mountaineering department, describes the current training course for guides.

Everest turbo - La tentation is a documentary about alpinism that takes place in Everest. It was directed by Bernard Germain in 1989 and produced by MC4. It features Eric Escoffier, Christine Janin, Frédéric Ancey, Michel Fauquet and Stéphane Schaffter.

Twenty years after his victorious ascent to Everest, the first for a French, Pierre Mazaud returns to Nepal and makes the journey from Kathmandu to the foot of the roof of the world. He is accompanied by Jean Afanassief who accompanied him during his victorious attempt in 1978. The film traces the history of Everest's ascents and the technological and sporting evolutions and revolutions that marked this epic. It also focuses on the consequences of globalization and the Himalayan adventure on the lives of Nepalese, the empowerment of Sherpas; it also raises the question of the consequences of this rapid evolution on safety and the environment.
