A landlord … who loves fishing!
Born a few meters from the Ouche, a non-navigable waterway in the Côte d’Or, Serge Petiot has spent countless days at the water’s edge from his childhood with his fishing rod. “When I was young, I even skipped school to go fishing! He remembers.
He kept this passion and passed it on to those close to him, especially his grandchildren. “As soon as I go back to Burgundy with them, we take the opportunity to go and tease trout, perch, carp and gudgeon. Fishing soothes me. She makes me happy. “
Serge Petiot also took advantage of stays in Ireland to bring out a few pikes. However, his most significant catch dates from 2002: “At the time, I was on vacation in Namibia. I was angling with some friends on one of the beaches on the Skeleton Coast. I then caught a shark of 2.80 m and of a hundred kilos! I posed for the photo and then let him go. “
When he’s not at the water’s edge, Serge Petiot indulges in his second passion: gardening. “I am an earthling,” he confides. “I like to take care of my garden. You can find beans, tomatoes, pickles, garlic, onions or shallots there. But also flowers! “
