'The dream of climbing Everest never left me': French mountaineer Orianne Aymard
One of the few French women to climb Mount Everest has spoken to FRANCE 24 about her long-term dream to climb the world's highest mountain. Orianne Aymard made the climb despite several nasty accidents in earlier climbs, and she had a brain haemorrhage at the age of 25 that temporarily put the brakes on her life mission. Her exploits are celebrated in a new film and in two books that she herself has written, "L'appel de l'Everest" and "Au coeur de l'Everest". She spoke to us in Perspective.
