\u00ab Th\u00e9o and I met about two years ago through our partners, who have been friends for nearly a decade. During an evening with friends, we started talking and sharing our experiences, and we quickly realized we had something in common: a genuine desire to build a company together, even though we had no idea yet what field it would be in.<\/p>

A few weeks later, Th\u00e9o came to me with a bold idea: blending wine with fruit to create a sparkling and festive cocktail. At first I was skeptical, as a sommelier and a Champagne professional, but I agreed to give it a try. After six months of experiments and research, we finally found the perfect balance and brought Facil\u2019s to life. \u00bb<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u00ab I come from the Champagne region, where my passion for wine naturally grew at the heart of an exceptional terroir. I chose to build my path in this world, beginning with a program in wine marketing in Alsace, followed by studies in viticulture and oenology in Champagne, and finally earning a sommelier diploma at a hospitality school in Paris.<\/p>

These different experiences allowed me to gain a complete understanding of the world of wine, from the vineyard to the table, combining technical expertise, commercial insight and a deep appreciation of gastronomic culture.<\/p>

My professional journey then led me to Reims and Paris, where I worked within Champagne Houses as a sales representative both in France and abroad. I developed strong field expertise by collaborating with prestigious establishments and evolving in a demanding and highly competitive environment.<\/p>

Alongside my career, sport has always played an essential role in my life. Training for and participating in long distance races and triathlons taught me perseverance, discipline and a genuine appreciation for challenge, values that I now bring into my entrepreneurial journey.<\/p>

In 2024, I decided to take a new step by creating my own company with Th\u00e9o and launching FACIL\u2019S, a festive, light and accessible drink made entirely in France. My ambition is to modernize the image of wine and to offer a friendly and uninhibited alternative, while remaining faithful to the excellence of the French terroir. \u00bb<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u00ab I grew up in the \u00cele de France region, in a family with diverse roots: a mother from Guadeloupe and a father from mainland France. Between the red wine shared at the table and the richly spiced colombo, I grew up in a world where cultures meet and where you learn early to appreciate what the land and traditions have to offer.<\/p>

This curiosity for taste and balance quickly expanded to other fields. From terroirs to historical landmarks, from generous dishes to the landscapes of our mountains, I wanted to understand everything and explore everything. This is what led me to study economics and mathematics at Paris Dauphine PSL: the search for balance, the quest for the right parameters that, once combined, create a true and harmonious result. Just like a well crafted wine, born from the meeting of the soil, the climate and the skill of the people who shape it.<\/p>

But it was not only through numbers that I found my path. Three years of travelling across the world, from Vietnam to India, immersed in humanitarian missions, taught me what truly matters: taking action on your own, staying true to your convictions and believing in the power of initiative.<\/p>

From there came the idea of Facil\u2019s<\/strong>. A cocktail that embodies both innovation and solidarity. A creation designed as a perfect balance: simple, accessible, yet carrying real meaning. And because I believe, just as in rugby, that you never win alone, this adventure is meant to be lived as a team effort. This is why I chose to bring this idea to life with a friend. \u00bb<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Notre histoire \u00ab\u00a0Avec Th\u00e9o, nous nous sommes rencontr\u00e9s il y a environ deux ans gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 nos compagnes, qui sont amies depuis une dizaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es. Lors d\u2019une soir\u00e9e entre amis, nous avons commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 discuter et \u00e0 \u00e9changer sur nos parcours respectifs, et nous avons rapidement d\u00e9couvert une volont\u00e9 commune : cr\u00e9er une entreprise, sans encore savoir dans quel secteur. Quelques semaines plus tard, Th\u00e9o m\u2019a propos\u00e9 une id\u00e9e audacieuse : assembler un vin et un fruit pour cr\u00e9er un cocktail p\u00e9tillant et festif. Au d\u00e9part sceptique, en tant que sommelier et professionnel du Champagne, j\u2019ai accept\u00e9 de me laisser tenter. Apr\u00e8s six mois d\u2019exp\u00e9rimentations et de recherches, nous avons finalement trouv\u00e9 le dosage parfait et donn\u00e9 vie \u00e0 Facil\u2019s.\u00a0\u00bb Maxime \u00ab\u00a0Je suis originaire de la r\u00e9gion Champagne, o\u00f9 ma passion pour le vin s\u2019est naturellement d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e au c\u0153ur d\u2019un terroir d\u2019exception. J\u2019ai choisi de me former dans cet univers : une formation en commercialisation des vins en Alsace, un cursus en viticulture-\u0153nologie en Champagne, puis l\u2019obtention d\u2019un dipl\u00f4me de sommelier dans un lyc\u00e9e h\u00f4telier parisien. Ces diff\u00e9rentes exp\u00e9riences m\u2019ont permis d\u2019acqu\u00e9rir une vision compl\u00e8te du monde du vin, depuis la vigne jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la table, en alliant comp\u00e9tences techniques, approche commerciale et culture gastronomique. Mon parcours professionnel m\u2019a ensuite conduit \u00e0 Reims et \u00e0 Paris, o\u00f9 j\u2019ai travaill\u00e9 au sein de Maisons de Champagne, en tant que commercial en France comme \u00e0 l\u2019international. J\u2019y ai d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 une solide expertise terrain, en collaborant avec des \u00e9tablissements prestigieux et en \u00e9voluant dans un environnement exigeant et concurrentiel. En parall\u00e8le, le sport occupe une place essentielle dans ma vie. La pr\u00e9paration et la participation \u00e0 des courses longue distance et \u00e0 des triathlons m\u2019ont appris la pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance, la discipline et le go\u00fbt du d\u00e9fi des valeurs que je mets aujourd\u2019hui au service de mon projet entrepreneurial. En 2024, j\u2019ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de franchir un nouveau cap en cr\u00e9ant, avec Th\u00e9o, ma propre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et en lan\u00e7ant FACIL\u2019S, une boisson festive, l\u00e9g\u00e8re et accessible, enti\u00e8rement fabriqu\u00e9e en France. Mon ambition est de moderniser l\u2019image du vin et de proposer une alternative conviviale et d\u00e9complex\u00e9e, tout en restant fid\u00e8le \u00e0 l\u2019excellence du terroir fran\u00e7ais.\u00a0\u00bb Th\u00e9o \u00ab\u00a0J\u2019ai grandi en \u00cele-de-France, dans une famille aux multiples racines : une m\u00e8re venue de Guadeloupe, un p\u00e8re issu de la m\u00e9tropole. Entre le vin rouge partag\u00e9 \u00e0 table et le colombo aux saveurs \u00e9pic\u00e9es, j\u2019ai \u00e9volu\u00e9 dans un univers o\u00f9 les cultures se m\u00e9langent, o\u00f9 l\u2019on apprend tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t \u00e0 aimer ce que la terre et les traditions nous offrent. Cette curiosit\u00e9 pour le go\u00fbt et l\u2019\u00e9quilibre s\u2019est vite \u00e9largie \u00e0 d\u2019autres domaines. Des terroirs aux sites historiques, des plats g\u00e9n\u00e9reux aux paysages de nos montagnes, je voulais tout comprendre, tout explorer. C\u2019est ce qui m\u2019a pouss\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9tudier l\u2019\u00e9conomie et les math\u00e9matiques \u00e0 Paris Dauphine-PSL : la recherche d\u2019un \u00e9quilibre, cette qu\u00eate des \u201cbons param\u00e8tres\u201d qui, mis ensemble, donnent un r\u00e9sultat juste. Comme un vin r\u00e9ussi, n\u00e9 de la rencontre entre le sol, le climat et le savoir-faire. Mais ce n\u2019est pas seulement derri\u00e8re des chiffres que j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 ma voie. Trois ann\u00e9es de voyages \u00e0 travers le monde, du Vietnam \u00e0 l\u2019Inde, plong\u00e9 dans des missions humanitaires, m\u2019ont appris l\u2019essentiel : agir par soi-m\u00eame, rester fid\u00e8le \u00e0 ses convictions, et croire en la force de l\u2019initiative. De l\u00e0 est n\u00e9e l\u2019id\u00e9e de Facil\u2019s. Un cocktail qui incarne \u00e0 la fois l\u2019innovation et la solidarit\u00e9. Un produit pens\u00e9 comme un \u00e9quilibre parfait : simple, accessible, mais porteur de valeurs. Et parce que je crois, comme au rugby, qu\u2019on ne gagne jamais seul, cette aventure se vit en \u00e9quipe. C\u2019est donc avec un ami, que j\u2019ai choisi de transformer cette id\u00e9e en r\u00e9alit\u00e9.\u00a0\u00bb Facil\u2019s, c\u2019est plus qu\u2019une boisson.
