Exercising his talents as a hotelier at L’ HORIZON in Thionville and as a master chef, he delights in preparing tasty dishes to tempt his guests, he ended by becoming enmeshed in a passion for local history, largely as a result of having served over 25 years the "young" American veterans who have come back to revisit the sites of their past.

For his parents these encounters were particularly emotional, especially for his mother Janine, who as a young girl in September 1944, welcomed the young men as liberators,
with a bunch of flowers in her hands.

Together with his wife, Anne-Marie, Jean-Pascal has been welcoming throughout the years and is proud of these discreet men whose names are inscribed in his guest book of honour, who came from across the Atlantic. He hopes most sincerely that in November 2004, the survivors of that epic will come together once more.

Nota : You can also find his great job around The Maginot Ligne.
