 Claude
Challe’s
C.V
should
be
written
in
music
notes
alone:
music
is
his
life;
it
marks
the
tempos
of
his
adventures.
This
unique
vibration
is
the
main
underlying
theme.
“Music
is
the
only
language
that
enables
man
to
communicate
with
the
sacred
and
with
other
beings,
in
emotion,
desire
and
plenitude,
without
giving
birth
to
violence,
conflict,
misunderstanding
and
dissonance.
It
is
the
only
true
language
of
humanity,
for
beyond
concepts
and
words
lies
transcendence,
creativity
and
absolute
movement.
Music
is
the
salt
of
life;
its
vibration,
its
most
beautiful
energy,
its
Verb.”
This
troubadour
could
have
only
come
from
one
of
those
hot
and
sensual
lands.
Tunisia
offered
him
his
roots,
his
parents
a
heritage
of
mixed
Jewish
wisdom
and
Oriental
magic.
Claude
arrived
in
France
at
the
age
of
three.
He
entered
a
rabbinic
school
and
became
an
apprentice
of
the
Sacred
Books.
Adolescence
and
the
school
of
Life
forged
his
motto
for
him:
“Too
much
is
never
enough”.
At
nineteen,
Claude
opened
the
first
unisex
and
music
hair
salon
of
the
capital.
His
nickname
became
“the
man
with
the
golden
scissors”.
The
Parisian
jet
set
was
already
queuing
at
the
door.
Shortly
thereafter,
this
idealist
decided
to
give
rein
to
his
hippy
dream
and
left
to
share
it
with
the
like-minded
in
a
commune
in
Sardinia.
His
route
led
him
to
India,
Nepal,
Indonesia…
On
returning
to
France,
Claude
embarked
on
a
fashion
adventure
with
all
his
autodidactic
talent.
He
saw
the
opening
of
several
clothes
shops:
the
creation
of
the
first
jean
and
up-market
clothes
boutique,
the
first
romantic,
Pirate
fashion
shop
and
Snoopy
fashion
imports…In
the
same
stride,
he
threw
himself
into
photography
and
left
for
Los
Angeles
where
for
one
year
he
lived
amongst
the
fashion
milieu,
moving
to
the
rhythm
of
the
women
he
revered.
His
return
to
Paris
launched
him
into
the
milieu
of
the
Night.
He
opened
“Le
Privé”,
the
first
club
where
jet
sets
and
artists
were
brought
together.
It
proved
to
be
a
great
success.
Other
places
followed
shortly:
“Le
Centre
Ville”,
the
first
trendy
restaurant
in
Les
Halles,
decorated
by
Starck,
“Les
Bains”,
renowned
throughout
the
world
and
finally,
the
“ Buddha
Bar”.
The
creation
of
these
exceptional
events,
such
as
the
“Réveillon
des
mondes”
with
Radio
Nova
in
Parc
Floral
at
Vincennes,
his
weekly
show
“Magic”
on
the
same
radio
station
and
his
production
of
music
documentaries,
turned
this
Night
professional
into
a
magician
of
the
Parisian
parties
and
shortly
thereafter,
the
international
parties.
Wherever
Claude
Challe
is
to
be
found,
you
can
be
sure
that
the
crowd
is
never
far
behind:
Beautiful

businessmen,
models…all

ambiance,
unexpected

and
a

Challe
