Life

Born in Manche, Ollivier led a career as a political and economic journalist.[3] After he retired,[4] he decided both to devote himself to writing and to walk to Santiago de Compostela, then undertook a long 12,000 km walk from Istanbul to Xi'an along the silk road.[3][5] As a writer, he publishes short stories including a collection on the homeless,[6] detective novels, but also stories of his travels.[3] The success of his works enabled him to later found the Seuil association[7] for the reintegration of young people in difficulty through walking.[4][8]
