Koh-Lanta[]

A member of the all-male Mogo tribe, Alban formed a friendship and alliance with the other young men of the tribe, Guillaume Brauer and Romuald Lafite. The trio didn't care for the leadership styles of some of the older men, particularly Nelson Parente. When the Mogo tribe lost the first Immunity Challenge, older tribe member Jean-Bernard de Cools gave the middle finger to the Chapera tribe and threw his belt at them. Because Jean-Bernard was sanctioned for these actions by losing his right to vote at the first elimination and being exiled for 48 hours, he was unable to cast a crucial vote against Romuald that would have caused the vote to result in a tie. Instead, Vidéli Dittmar, who also didn't care for Nelson's leadership style, joined the three youngest men in what was now a majority vote against Nelson, resulting in the latter's elimination.

On Day 8, the Mogo tribe sent Alban and their two scouts, Raphaël Andrès and Romuald, to what they thought was going to be a challenge for reward, but it turned out to be a tribe switch. As a result, they were reassigned to the Chapera tribe and their representatives, Linda Alario, SL, and Catherine Ehret-Mader were reassigned to the Mogo tribe. On their end, the Chapera women were happy to have men on their tribe and the tribe got along very well, but Nathalie Lapicque was annoyed because Raphaël had taken over her leadership role in the tribe and became negative. After they eliminated Vicky Lemarié on Day 13 due to her depleted morale, some of the Chapera tribe members, such as Raphaël, pondered over whether Nathalie was being so negative on purpose to influence her tribemates into wanting to go home. Nathalie finally managed to bond better with her tribemates during the sixth cycle, but it was still too late for her to salvage her game because she was eliminated during the corresponding elimination as her tribemates were still annoyed with her. Before she was eliminated, Nathalie took the map of Chapera Island that had been given to her tribe at the beginning of the game as a souvenir. When Raphaël, who the tribe had earlier agreed would receive the map as his souvenir, noticed that the map was missing from his bag, Alban checked Nathalie's bag for the map as she was voting. He found the map and gave it to Raphaël before Nathalie got back, but when the voting was over, Denis Brogniart asked Raphaël to give him the map as it was property of the show.

At the merged tribe's first elimination, because Alban had made an alliance to him earlier in the game, he was the the only one of the second Chapera tribe members who did not join them and Catherine in voting out Guillaume, who had received the Ambassadors' vote earlier in the cycle. Over the next few days, many of the contestants became ill, with Alban being one of the more serious cases. Many of the second Chapera tribe members blamed their sickness on eating the moray eel that Raphaël had caught earlier, but the minority alliance of Linda, Philippe Bordier, and Sophie Eeckhout used this to their advantage and convinced Raphaël that his allies were being ungrateful of him. Despite this, Raphaël didn't budge from his alliance that now included Catherine as an affiliate and Linda was voted out next. When Odile Héritier was evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 26 due to persisting illness, Linda returned to the game in her place with immunity at the upcoming elimination. Sophie was the next intended target of Catherine and the majority alliance because of her injured finger and because Linda was immune, but she and Linda argued to the majority alliance that Catherine did not actually deserve to go any further because of her consistent weakness in challenges. With this, the majority alliance realized that tensions between Linda, Sophie, and Catherine would end right away and the camp would be peaceful if Catherine were eliminated next, so all of Catherine's tribemates, except for Alban, voted out Catherine at the next elimination.

At the final six, Alban won the Reward Challenge and, when told that he could share the reward with one of his tribemates, he chose his closest ally Romuald. When the pair came back to camp, the rest of the tribe criticized Alban for his decision because Romuald had benefited from more rewards than the rest of the tribe and because Romuald was lazy around camp. Though Romuald won the next Immunity Challenge, Alban's decision at the Reward Challenge was what broke the camel's back in terms of Raphaël staying loyal to his alliance. Therefore, to the relief of Linda and Philippe, Raphaël and Amélie Grégoire, who had developed a father-daughter relationship by this point, flipped. Alban was voted out in a 4-2 vote and became the fourth jury member.

At the Final Tribal Council, Alban voted for Philippe, who won in a unanimous 7-0 vote.
