  • A photographer and fan of electric scooters sets off on a 4,000 km journey across France.
  • The idea, to reconcile all your passions and go to meet people.
  • A human adventure to support the Strasbourg association Realizer of dreams.

If there was no tour caravan this summer on the roads of France, no advertising gifts distributed around the hexagon, there will however be Michaël Vieira on his electric scooter. This Strasbourg photographer will come to the handlebars of his little racing car to realize some of your dreams. Finally as much as possible. The man who embarks on a somewhat "barred" adventure wants his project to be useful and informative. So he chose to support the humanitarian association Réalisateur de rêve, created by another Strasbourg resident Muammer Ylmaz and whose principle is to help others achieve their dreams. Vast program, almost as much as the kilometers of cycle paths and national roads that Michaël Vieira will have to swallow.

The young man of 29 years decided, "like that, a crush", to unite all his passions for a great adventure. The photographer, alias Trott-Man, has in fact set himself the challenge of covering more than 4,000 km in the coming months. Enough to enjoy these five passions: the electric scooter (it is one of the very first to have practiced it in Strasbourg), photography, video, travel and human contact.

Ride quietly, meet people

Of a relaxed nature, he has just finalized, a few days before the start, the itinerary of his adventure. "But I'm going to adapt to ride quietly, to meet people. A hundred kilometers a day, it will depend on the meetings, "already imagines Trott-Man who will still be equipped with a motorcycle helmet. On the horizon therefore, the big French cities, but also a catch by Corsica, the depths of Occitania, Aquitaine, Brittany ... "I will not force and it will probably last more than three months and go well over 4,000 kilometers ”, warns the photographer who already imagines, afterwards, other adventures.

On the preparation side, he leaves on his own money and has not even signed a partnership with the manufacturer of the scooter. "Too complicated, they are in Korea and then I don't need a big budget. On the equipment side, Trott-Man will only take three outfits, his bag not to exceed 20 kg. The heaviest will be the camera equipment, the computer. “And the most difficult will be to make the video montages. The young backpacker who hopes to sleep well with the locals intends to share his adventures and dreams to achieve on his Facebook page and on Instagram. “I will be in the company of all of France. »Departure scheduled for Sunday, July 12 at 10:30 a.m. from Place Kléber.
