As a professor of applied ecology and landscape historian, I was apparently the first to translate some of his texts into French for distribution in my country (see "Landscape as the Art of Survival").

It is a tremendous loss for all those who appreciated his work and all he did to improve the lives of his fellow human beings.

I would have tried to convey the full meaning of his thoughts in France to a whole generation of students and future landscape engineers.

He will be remembered, even in Paris and Chaumont-sur-Loire.

译文：

作为应用生态学与景观史教授，我曾率先将他的部分著作译介至我国（参见《景观作为生存的艺术》）。

他的离世令所有珍视其作品、感念他为改善人类生活所做贡献的人们痛心不已。

我本希望能在法国完整传递他的思想精髓，启迪一代学子与未来景观工程师。

他将被铭记，无论是在巴黎，还是在叙利-卢瓦尔。
