Koh-Lanta[]

Maxime was placed on the Matukad tribe. The Matukad tribe won the majority of the early challenges, keeping the tribe generally intact over the first six cycles with only two visits to Tribal Council. On his end, Maxime performed generally well in challenges and was appreciated for his survival skills around camp. At the beginning of the second cycle, the contestants were joined by two new competitors, the challenge-oriented Léa Notardonato and the survival-oriented William Plancq, both of whom would be immune for the cycle. After losing the corresponding Reward Challenge, the Matukad tribe was left with Léa N. to join them and increase their numbers to eleven. The Matukad tribe did their best to make Léa N. feel welcome, but many of its members would have preferred recruiting William because the tribe needed a fire.

At the beginning of the third cycle, the twenty remaining contestants competed in an endurance challenge in which the two contestants that dropped out first of the tribe that would see all of its members drop out before the last of the other tribe's members would face off in an elimination duel. Cécile Poprawa and Mégane Rouland were the first and second, respectively, to drop out of the Matukad tribe and Léa N. dropped out right after Mégane. Fortunately for Cécile and Mégane, Maxime and Ricky Poyet outlasted the last of the rival Kadasi tribe, William, and saved the two from the elimination duel. Between these two, however, Ricky outlasted Maxime and won himself a clue to a Hidden Immunity Necklace, which he found soon after.

Later on, the sixth Reward Challenge resulted in a tie between the two tribes as both had an equal number of players remaining on the beam before the time was up. Though this allowed for both tribes to assign one person of the opposing tribe to receive a clue to a Hidden Immunity Necklace, Maxime and Sarah Diawara, due to being the last of their respective tribes to step down from their beams, had to compete in a tiebreaker for the main reward, which Maxime won. His tribemates praised him for sealing the win, but Maxime's social game crumbled during the seventh cycle anyway.

With the Ambassadors' Meeting looming, Maxime approached Jean Belmonte and accused David Murail, Cécile, Ricky, and Mégane of having an alliance, stating that the rest of the tribe needs to work together to stay alive and revealing that he's considering working with the original Kadasi members come merge to breakup this alliance. Instead of gathering the other alleged outsiders together, Jean leaked Maxime's thoughts to everyone and, after the seventh Reward Challenge, different members of the tribe confronted Maxime about his plans.

When Maxime realized that he would be sitting out of the seventh Immunity Challenge because he drew a black rock right before, he said out loud that the Matukad tribe was now at risk of losing the challenge because he was not playing in it, further damaging his social position. The Matukad tribe did indeed lose this challenge and even though David had lost his cool during the challenge, Léa N. did not have the trust of her tribemates, and Julie Rignault was the main reason why the tribe lost, the main target was Maxime going into Tribal Council for his recent actions. Maxime voted against David at Tribal Council, but Cécile played her Hidden Immunity Necklace for David and Meïssa Seck, negating said vote. Sure enough, Maxime was voted out in a 6-2-0 vote and, before leaving, he accused the tribe of being ungrateful as he felt that he had contributed the most around camp and was the most skilled at this. Feeling that they did not need Maxime to be able to survive and that they could do all of this on their own, Maxime's tribemates did not regret their decision.
