“Despite the fact that he died, I told myself that I was going to continue in Switzerland, explains Bruno Massot (32 years old). And then, thinking about it, with my wife, we wanted to get closer to our family, to our friends, we said to ourselves why not go back to Caen. “ Bruno Massot therefore made a phone call to the president of his former club, ACSEL. He is still in Switzerland but announced his upcoming return to Caen a few days ago, and should arrive in May.

“The two couples I train have decided to follow me, says Massot. I’ve had Nathalie (Péchalat, the president of the FFSG)on the phone telling me that my return was timely because they were trying to develop the discipline of the couple in France. Initially, it will be an individual training center and couples, to train, make discovery and initiation to couples. Later, I would like it to become a center for international level athletes. “
