He was involved in the certification of spoil tip #144,[2] which became the base des Argales.[3] The area then became the Parc naturel régional Scarpe-Escaut and included parts of communes in the Arrondissement of Douai in 1986. He became its first President in 1989.[1] He became a member of the Regional Council of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, serving from 1982 to 1992 and again from 1997 to 2004.
