I am fond of Home Theater, my preferred movies are science fiction as Cube, eXistenZ, Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor, The Fly... These movies are recorded on High Definition Blu-ray DVD, images are really different compared with a standard DVD. With this system, it is fun to play video games on a large screen: my children do love it, so do their friends ! I like skiing in Jura, in the south-east of France. In this country, Nordic ski is common because you can find many great forests and protected spaces. I have a true passion for sea fishing, particularly at Belle-Ile-en-Mer. It's a beautiful Brittany island. In this area of France, sea is full of white sea bass and sea-breams: these are excellent good tasting fishes.
