Now 70, the once “broken kid” is still fighting to reclaim his place, the only way he knows how: on the bike. His life is a true novel. Young champion, convict, writer, painter… the Breton has lived many lives, continuously rewriting his story as he overcame childhood trauma and prison, in a journey of resilience that raises profound questions. How can a man, pushed to his limits and broken by life, manage to rise and become better? No matter how harsh his fate, Patrick Béon’s path is a powerful ode to life—a deeply human story that transcends borders.
