There he met Pierre Lazareff and wrote the first biography of the famous newspapers director. In addition, he was also a chronicler at Le Figaro, through which he met the great writers of his time (Hervé Bazin, Marguerite Duras, Albert Cohen, Marguerite Yourcenar, François Nourissier, Paul Gordeaux etc.) of whom he realized the portraits through interviews.
