Not only did he helm more than 300 episodes of Xilam’s Oggy and the Cockroaches series, but also The New Adventures of Lucky Luke, which attracted as many as four million viewers every Sunday evening on France 3. We further owe to him two feature films: Go West, a Lucky Luke Adventure and Oggy and the Cockroaches: The Movie.
