Simon is the founder of Planète Apnée, which he set up in 2022 on the shores of Lake Annecy in Veyrier-du-Lac. From a very young age, this Annecy native has spent his free time in the water – Lake Annecy, of course! From the family rowing boat, his father would take him underwater to discover the silent world…

After completing his studies and starting his career in music, Simon decided at the age of 30 to give his life meaning. He set out to train in this discipline, obtained his State-certified Freediving Instructor Diploma two years later, and founded his own school, ‘Planète Apnée’. And as nothing happens by chance, his meeting with Adeline paved the way for a shared adventure. A hypnotherapist, Adeline also obtained her State-certified instructor diploma, and it was only natural that together they would pass on their expertise in freediving. Today, with a life already full to the brim, Simon is walking the path he has chosen. A path of sharing, respect, listening and kindness. It is all of this that Simon conveys today through freediving.

Planète Apnée in a few words

Around Simon and Adeline, State-certified instructors, the entire Planète Apnée team invites you to experience something truly unique and accessible to everyone. During the beautiful season, the team welcomes you on the beach at Plan, in Veyrier-du-lac, on a dedicated space for calm preparation and entry into the water. One single goal: pleasure. That of immersing yourself in Lake Annecy and discovering new sensations of well-being.
Relaxation, mindfulness, breathing techniques, aquatic immersion, and more… No prerequisites—this activity is for everyone!
Planète Apnée also offers workshops, coaching, and training all year round. In winter, freediving takes place just a few kilometers from Annecy in a 20-meter-deep pool, heated to 33°C. Tropical vibes guaranteed!

For the younger ones, Planète Apnée offers introductory kids’ sessions (from age 8) with Adeline, the gentlest of instructors, and even a “Mermaid” activity in several pools around Lake Annecy.
