French climber, mountain guide and former member of the Groupe de Haute Montagne. Droyer was a pioneer of free climbing in France, on a British Mountaineering Council international meet in North Wales in 1973 he witnessed the standards achieved using 'Anglo-Saxon' ethics rather than 'Tire clous' (pulling on gear, whether threads, pegs or bolts, to get up the route faster) and EB-style footwear rather than cleated boots more common on French crags at the time. He went on to make first ascents and first free ascents in the Saussois and Verdon in particular.
