Many dream of getting into the famous Guinness Book of Records, and some really succeed! We dedicated this material to the French, who thus left their mark on history.Kohl nuts … bootyFrenchman Michel Levilen hit the Book of Records for a very unusual achievement: in just 60 seconds he managed to split his booty 58 nuts! The record was set in the capital of France. In this ability, he bypassed the achievement of the Japanese Tomoharu Shoji, who managed to “deal” with 43 nuts. True, whether such skills are necessary in ordinary life is a big question.
Swim across the ocean
The Frenchman Benoit Lekomt has not yet entered the Book, but it is possible that his record will soon shake the whole world: at the age of 51, the daredevil decided to cross the Pacific Ocean by swimming.
The journey began in Japan on June 5th. A man has to overcome 8,800 km in six months. At best, he will be able to do it in 8 months if there are any difficulties.
It is interesting that the Frenchman is not only striving to become a record holder: he is confident that his act will benefit mankind, because scientists who study sea creatures and the aquatic environment accompany the man on the way.
It is curious that in 1998 Lekomt already set a similar record: he managed to swim across the Atlantic Ocean, breaking the order of 6,000 km by swimming. It took the athlete 73 days. The funds received from the swim, the man spent on the fight against cancer.

Interestingly, the growth of the active grandfather is 152 cm. He is in excellent physical shape due to daily exercise, which allows to keep the joints active, and proper nutrition (the Frenchman eats fruits and vegetables, and his diet includes meat, albeit in small quantities). Robert limits his coffee intake and drinks pure water with honey, which is a dope for him.
Catcher in China
Pablo Signoret does not seem to know what fear is: he managed to get into the Book of Records for a unique achievement – the Frenchman walked along a rope stretched extremely weakly between the mountains, over the Shi Meng Yuan valley in China. About 30 minutes a man kept the most complex balance. Repeat record tightrope walker until nobody succeeded.
