Geographer of French origin, Maxime Jolivel has lived in Quebec since 2007. Always ready to “flee urban mediocrity”, he was driven by his thirst for wild adventures to discover the Côte-Nord, a region “protected by its harshness” from mass tourism that distorts everything it touches. Rather directly, without lyricism but with bursts of philosophy, he tells us in wild inspired. North Coast his already long frequentation of this region of Quebec. More precisely, four getaways made with friends, declined in as many different seasons and round trips on Route 138. This contemplative thus multiplies the descriptions of landscapes, recounts eel or sea trout fishing ( “Grail of the angler”), evokes his first (testing) experience of waterfowl hunting, counts the moments of grace and the black flies, the bivouacs under the stars and the campfires. A story a little didactic at times, but whose enthusiasm is contagious.
