Who are we?

Odyssée is the brainchild of three passionate individuals with complementary expertise, who have joined forces to bring this unique project to life. Benoît Theveny, aka Tev, creator of Ici Japon Corp, is a leading figure in Japanese culture and gaming, rallying a committed community around his content and expertise in digital creation. Ludovic Charles, a renowned collector, is responsible for the world’s largest collection of consoles, now preserved by Odyssée, making him a key player in the conservation of video game heritage. Benoît de Ruyter, a marketing and media expert, structures the project with an innovative approach, ensuring its economic development and sustainability. Together, they’re shaping much more than a museum; they’re building a real playground where the past, present and future of video games and pop culture intertwine.
