France's sporting answer to BanksyFollow

Mixing arts, and sports, and philosphy, I hereby give you Remy Gaillard.

His philosophy is encapsulated in the saying:

"C'est en faisant n'importe quoi que l'on devient n'importe qui"
"It's by doing anything that you become anyone"

Highlights:

- The Decathlon

- Some impressive football skills

- Infiltrating the celebrations of the French Football Cup Winners

There are tons more, but I found these quite amusing.

I already had dibs on "It's by doing anyone that you become anything."

Thanks Red.

Of The Decathelon, the "High Jump" was my favourite.

Of the football skills, I just loved a lot of the simple bouncebacks into garbage bins. But My God, the Tall Structure! How'd he get it up there!?

The third one was funny that he did it, and got away with it, but not as fun as the first two for me to watch.


He is like a movement-graffiti artist, isn't he?

Exactly.

My favourite is possibly the melon-throwing and the subsequent reaction of the shopkeeper. Although, having had a few run-ins with the French Police, the one where he kicks the ball in their van, or in the Police station, is strangely statisfying too.

Oh, it was a police van?

Well that's a lot better.

I thought it was an Ambulance.
