Cédric Sapin-Defour – Où les étoiles tombent

Lectures & Workshops

Société de lecture

After briefly pursuing medical studies, Cédric Sapin-Defour became a physical education teacher. Driven by a love of words and exploration literature, he has written for publications such as Libération and Alpes Magazine, as well as books including Gravir les montagnes est une affaire de style (Guérin, 2017), Espresso (Guérin, 2019), and L’art de la trace (Transboréal, 2020).

His deep bond with his Bernese Mountain Dog inspired His Scent After the Rain (Son odeur après la pluie, Stock, 2023), a massive success with over a million readers, eighteen translations, and adaptations in progress for film, graphic novel (Le Lombard, 2025), and theater.

His powerful new book, Where the Stars Fall (Où les étoiles tombent, Stock, 2025), tells the moving story of the paragliding accident that changed his wife’s life—and her brave path to recovery.
