What's the story behind Serge Camps' lefthanded guitar?

I've noticed that in recent videos Serge Camps plays a lefthanded guitar, what's the story behind that? He surely didn't go out and buy himself a lefthanded guitar for fun or anything right?

Here's an example: Angelo Debarre "Charleston" en session TSFJAZZ !

Probably was the guitar of his great friend Patrick Saussois

I'm pretty sure it is this. Someone mentioned it in a different thread a few months back, IIRC.

Thank you @Phil !

I see that he has a few albums on Youtube aswell, I'll check him out.

Nice. I just got through listening to Patrick Saussois' "Alma Sinti" album and I'm very pleased with it. I know I've seen the album cover somewhere before but I hadn't listened to him. Now I have found a third guy after Tchan-Tchou Vidal who has recorded "Premier-rendez vous" in the same vein. I knew Ninine Garcia had but I didn't know anybody else. I know the tune originates from an old movie but it sounds very different as an instrumental, not as an old song.
