His most famous journey, undertaken in the 1950s with friend and artist Thierry Vernet, took them from Europe to Asia in a Fiat Topolino.

- Inscriptions-Iscrizioni-Inscriptions: Assez d’argent pour vivre neuf semaines. Ce n’est qu’une petite somme mais c’est beaucoup de temps. Nous nous refusons tous les luxes sauf le plus précieux: la lenteur. Un voyage se passe de motifs. Il ne tarde pas à prouver qu’il se suffit à lui-même. On croit qu’on va faire un voyage, mais bientôt c’est le voyage qui vous fait, ou vous défait.
