Guillaume Schmidlin, 26, disappeared with his canoe off the island of Oléron (Charente-Maritime) on March 27. The twenty-year-old has since disappeared at sea and has not been found despite intense searches.
“I love you my canoeist, I love you,” writes his father in a poignant message published on social networks. Guillaume “will accompany us as long as our memory remembers him. He was magnificent; we all loved him, he loved us all”
