Midnight is a unique, dreamt and exciting adventure for an entrepreneur. Unique because it addresses the crucial need to travel, this desire to discover the world and the emergency to do it by respecting the planet.
Dreamt because I share it with Adrien and we've been working in concert for more than six years now. Exciting because it offers an infinite range of opportunities in a two-hundred-year-old, quasi-monopolistic and complex sector that is just waiting to be reinvented.

When Adrien pitched Midnight to me, I immediately understood it was the project I would work on for the next twenty years. And it’s kind of ironic for me who grew up in Reunion Island without trains and with a part of my family being pioneers in the aviation industry. I want to share with you all the emotions that this project makes me feel, by delivering a new, comfortable and sustainable way of travelling.
