Victor Robichaud was born in the little picturesque town of Neguac, or, more precisely, in Rivière-des-Caches. His passion for literary arts and history began in childhood. During his years as a family doctor and adjunct professor in the faculty of medicine at the University of Sherbrooke, Dr. Robichaud recognized the importance of humanism in medical professions. He has always looked to integrate the arts, narration, and poetry into his teaching of future doctors. Since his retirement, he has returned to his hometown, the setting of his first youth novel, La bottine de Rivière-des-Caches.
