For his first top international level competition, Jeanneau did a very good job at the 2006 World Championship. Even though he didn't seem like a heavy favourite to make the team, the ASVEL point guard had to step up after Tony Parker's injury, 48 hours before the competition's first game. The left-handed playmaker helped a French team struggling on offense with his controlled game and a nice little touch from three-point range. He started basketball in Cholet. Jeanneau then followed his youth team coach, Eric Girard, to Le Havre and Strasbourg. He won a silver medal with the U18's in 1996, but was never a real option for the senior squad afterwards. That changed after a nice 2005-06 Euroleague season with Strasbourg. Originally not selected this summer, he received a phone call, on the beach, after the Spurs called back Tony Parker. Well, Aymeric is always ready for "Les Bleus".
