Indeed that is a strange nickname but let me show you why...

First of all, you have to know that "Bébert" is in french a common nickname for names like Robert or Bertrand or... Then you were right asking me where is the link with "Pierre-André", and indeed, there is no link in between! But if you look closer to my last name, you will find out that it sounds not so far and that's the reason!

Ok nothing really amazing forthe moment, but let me show you what Garlaban is...

Have a look, that's it (the biggest behind)! this mountain, ok hill... shaped like... euh I don't know actually, but shaped like nothing else at least! ;-)

That is my Garlaban, and it just behind my family house, ok maybe 1h30 by walk... ;-) Anyway it's just where I was used to spend my afternoon while I was a kid and it's so gorgeous (ok maybe not this picture, but just come here and you will see... ;-) that I wanted to share ot with you! ;-)

See you soon in Marseille (there will be an article on that soon...)

Lou Bébert dou Garlaban!

PS : Lou = The and dou = Of in Provençal (dialect of my region!), more teaching on Provençal soon ;-)
