Franck Bonin does not know where his passion for tortoises comes from but has only one aim in mind : to have an exhaustive knowledge of the world species of tortoises to treat them and support their defenders. It is to achieve this goal that this veterinarian, born in 1965, laureate from the Faculty of Medicine and graduate from the National Veterinary School of Lyon in 1995, joined the Tortoise Village as practitioner and director. There, he practices his favorite fields - expertise in biology, medicine and tortoise conservation - while continuing to consult two days a week in Champagne-au-Mont d´Or.
