Simon was born in Brittany. Since then, he has kept walking, drawing, painting, writing, reading, dancing and travelling.

He lives in Brittany, and draws from his travels the quintessence of his way of living as a man, his inspiration as an artist.
"No artist should have a unique personnality. He ought to possess a few of them, clearing up the gross fiction saying that he should be one and indivisible. (Fernando Pessoa)

He published 25 books, among them novels, travel writing, stories for children and ecological diaries.
