This epicurean with Mediterranean origins loves people as much as he loves life: disproportionately. He proves it to us on every page of his autobiography "Marcel the Blessed". Meet.
Living legend of Saint-Martin, Marcel Giudice known as “The Pirate” left his adopted island 3 months after the passage of Irma who took everything away from him. “My daughter lived in New Caledonia, I spent a year there, there was not much to do in this corner of paradise especially when you are isolated as I was, so I was said I was going to write my life. I started writing this book there and ended up here in Saint-Martin after my return. "
A story worthy of a cinematic fiction, the style is raw and effective. Marcel doesn't just take us on a journey, he takes us with him in his story with many twists and turns. In 80 years of peregrinations of all kinds, Marcel has defied death as many times as he has rebuilt his life. The nicest pirate has the soul of a child and the ilk of a phoenix: "We must not give up, hard knocks bring good. I've had a lot of tumbles but then comes the lifts, good things always happen. "
Joker, storyteller and charmer, Marcel tells us his double secret of longevity: an immoderate (and communicative) desire to enjoy life, a mille-feuille from time to time ... and a spoon of olive oil when you get out of bed!
