Yvan Griboval

Yvan Griboval was born on 7 January 1957 in Mont-Saint-Aignan (near Rouen in the French Department Seine-Maritime) from Cécile Griboval born Toutain (1924-2012) and from Roger Griboval (1908-1997). Roger Griboval was an impressionist painter from the Ecole de Rouen, renowned for his talent as an aquarellist. Only child, Yvan Griboval discovered the nature accompanying his father painting en plein-air: Higher-Normandy coast (from Dieppe to Fécamp) and at the edge of the Seine around Rouen. He spent all his weekends and holidays in Saint-Valéry-en-Caux, where he was taught very young to fish on the sea, and above all to discover the marine environment and to the sailing competition on Requin.
