Gildas Le Hyaric

Gildas Le Hyaric will carry the Olympic Torch. This is his story:

Gildas is a deeply committed person, both within Accor, a partner company of the Paris 2024 Games, and in his private life. It was through the company that he discovered his passion for running a dozen years ago, and then had the opportunity to share his experience by accompanying a number of colleagues in their first marathon. In 2017, he played an active part in the various campaigns to promote the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in partnership with Accor.

His involvement, particularly as pacesetter for a group running through the streets of Paris as far as Les Invalides to unveil a giant banner on the Alexandre III bridge, was outstanding. As part of his commitment with Accor, Gildas is co-founder of the company’s sports association and responsible for issues relating to soft mobility. On a personal level, Gildas also spends some of his time as a volunteer first-aider with the Paris Seine civil protection agency. His commitment to the community and his devotion to others illustrate his deep-rooted values of altruism and solidarity.
