Fifteen years ago, i entered my first race and I promised myself that I will succeed. It has been an exceptionnal experience throughout the years!

The last decade has been really amazing, crushing all the previous records and pushing up the limits. Despite an unfavourable geographic situation, we have won the most difficult championships and the most prestigious races.

As a man relishing a challenge, I never back up. Each season is for me an opportunity to write another page of my pigeon career, a career which is now synonomous with the history of the French pigeon sport, as we became one of the most titled racing lofts in France, making the headlines and creating admiration, astonishment & incomprehension.

Born and raised in a pigeon fancying family, I guess the pigeon bug hit me at a young age. Thanks to a lot of reading and a lot of advices I received from true friends, I quickly raised my level of knowledge to finally reach the absolute top alone. I think I'm a total self made man as I always made everything on my own. I'm a perfectionist and I always pushed it to the limit to become better. I also visited a lot of champions to hold their best pigeons, the only way to get an idea of what the very best pigeons look like.

My ambition was to create my own breeding line that would fit my objective, being the middle distances races and the one day long distance races. Breeding has always been a passion. After all these years and after several introductions, I think I have created an homogeneous breed characterized by pigeons with iron mental concntration and tireless physical qualities.

My pigeons are able to fly for victory in any weather conditions, but they are the best when the conditions are tough with heat and a head wind. Like steel, they sometimes bend but they never break up.

The old basis, built around pigeons like Viking's Way, Vaunoise, Grace d'Alligny, Ganymède, Sissi d'Aunou, or Fleuron Perrine and of course their children, gave me the opportunity to reach the first goal of my career, booking a victory in the most prestigious federal race of our racing program, Poitiers.

Eternally dissatisfied, I tried to strenghten my colony. It was done when i purchased some pigeons from Verkerk, these being Varrenne, Prodigious and Démonia Girl, who quickly helped my colony to a higher level. I was then finally able to win the most prestigious championship of the French pigeon sport, this being the National General Championship.

This auction is the result of a lot of hard work. I'm convinced these pigeons have a huge potential, they are complete and they are simply my best racers & breeders. They were all bred from top racing lines and I'm convinced that all the pigeons presented in the auction will be a great reinforcement for any loft in the world.

In his area of Nord-pas-de-Calais, the most important races of the season are the federal races. These races start around 400 km and goes up to 750 km. They are

similar to a Belgian national race as the area of racing is almost the same, going from the east to the west. Thousands of fanciers are competing against each others in what is the strongest racing opposition of the whole country. Among

them, Alexandre Margris is considered as the best of the best, as he breaks the records year after year. His most important victories in this level of racing were:
