Paragot By Paragot

Robert Paragot stands as a legendary figure in mountaineering and a quintessential Bleausard, celebrated for his bold alpine-style expeditions—from the south face of Aconcagua to the Tour de Mustagh and Jannu—while embodying the image of a modest city dweller who devoted himself to high-level climbing. Like many Parisian climbers, Paragot began his ascent in the Fontainebleau forest, a true rock school where he opened several boulders. A year after his death, his son Christophe Paragot paid tribute by climbing all the boulders his father had opened in Fontainebleau on the same day. He shares memories of an era, a spirit, and an emblematic place through his recollections and several charming anecdotes. Far from spectacular images or sporting exploits, this film speaks of a passion, a climbing story made accessible to all. In memory of a great name in mountaineering who, from the modest blocks of the forest, climbed to the highest peaks in the world.
