In March 2017 he was crowned French giant slalom champion for the first time in Les Deux Alpes . His international breakthrough came in the 2017/18 season when, finishing 24th on the Gran Risa, he not only won his first World Cup points, but also achieved his first top results in the European Cup. After finishing third in Trysil , he celebrated his first victory in St. Moritz in February 2018 . In the discipline classification, he finally finished eighth. His best World Cup result for the time being was 17th in the giant slalom in Garmisch .
