Gouraud, Jean-Louis

Born in 1943 in Paris, Jean-Louis Gouraud is a writer, publisher and historian who has specialized in the world of the horse. As such he has travelled to the far ends of the world: Africa (where he was the editor-in-chief of Jeune Afrique magazine for nearly ten years), Russia (in 1990 he rode from Paris to Moscow on horseback: 3,333 km in 75 days) as well as Central Asia, India and China. In 1986 he began publishing the Caracole collection (Editions Favre) dedicated exclusively to horses.
