About the team
A complementary and determined duo
This project is the brainchild of Pierre-Lou Chapot, a French engineering student at AgroParisTech. For years, he has been passionate about bird watching and wildlife photography.
Originally from the small village of Beurey-sur-Saulx, Lorraine, he was able to fuel his passion at the heart of spots of the region, such as the Lac du Der or the Lindre ponds.
His solo trip to Northern Finnish Lapland in 2017 will have confirmed his attraction to the open spaces. After spending 5 months in Argentina in 2018, he will soon accompany migratory birds across Europe.
Pierre Blanchot joined the AVES team for the realization of our photographic project on the ringing of migratory birds in Europe.
Originally from Rueil-Malmaison, Parisian region, this engineering student at AgroParisTech is full of energy in everything he undertakes.
Fervent rugby player, he is passionate about collective adventures and rich of many experiences in associative life.
Pierre wishes to participate in the development of AVES and our project for the promotion of research on migratory birds.
