Born in Paris and father of two children, Maxime and Michael, he has a great passion for herbs and their properties, transmitted to him by his father Maurice, founder of the  Laboratoire des Herbes Sauvages, the first European centre for controlled and organically protected cultivation. On the wave of consolidated experience in the field of phytotherapy, in 1990 he opened the Marc Mességué Health Center, the most exclusive phytotherapy institute in Italy, housed in an ancient renovated castle called Torre Errighi, situated in the heart of Umbria.
In recent years, Marc’s revolutionary diet idea has become a tangible reality; one light day a week. Day Light centres have opened all over Italy and in 2004 Mondadori published his book “La Dieta di un Giorno” (“The One Day Diet”).
