Book Adaptation - Hôtel Annapurna for Animal Créatif

I had the privilege of being contracted for the English adaptation of the 50-year commemorative book celebrating the legacy of the iconic Hotel Annapurna in Courchevel. This project, commissioned by the creative agency Animal Créatif under the leadership of Nathalie Dupuy, was a deeply collaborative effort. Working closely with the talented author Audrey Grosclaude, I helped shape the adaptation to capture the essence, history, and spirit of this remarkable institution for an English-speaking audience.

This project held special significance for me, as Courchevel is where I first learned to ski after arriving in France. Guided by my father-in-law, a ski instructor and mountain guide, I explored these slopes and developed a deep connection to the mountains. His role in shaping my experience coincided with the era when the Annapurna's own story was unfolding, making this adaptation a profoundly personal journey.

The book itself is a unique creation, designed for private distribution directly from the hotel to its cherished clients during the winter season. It serves as both a tribute to the Annapurna’s remarkable history and a gesture of gratitude to those who have been part of its journey.
