Frenchman Tibault Vansteenkiste saved to visit his countryman after seeing a television documentary on Cr Cadart in France two years ago.
Last week, Mr Vansteenkiste, 26, arrived at Bicheno after buying a second-hand push bike in Hobart and riding to the East Coast town to meet Cr Cadart.
"He rang out of the blue when he was in Hobart," Cr Cadart said.
"We had him for dinner and he said when he saw this thing about me, he decided he had to come and meet me."Mr Vansteenkiste is a qualified pastry chef and he is also a truckie and is touring the state on his bike.
