Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis returns to the stage with a new album that brings to the forefront the pop and soul influences woven through her career. A songwriter and performer, she moves between understated grooves and more stripped-back ballads, carried by an instantly recognizable voice and a keen sense of melody. Her trajectory has left a mark on French pop—from "Joe le taxi" to "Be My Baby", "Tandem" or "Divine Idylle"—a repertoire that accompanies her new songs without turning its back on the present.

On 26 March 2026 at the Arena du Pays d’Aix in Aix-en-Provence, she returns to the stage accompanied by her band. Guitars, keyboards and a rhythm section establish a pop-soul framework, with vocal harmonies and arrangements crafted for live performance. The focus is on songwriting, textures and the grain of her voice, for a set that showcases her new compositions while recalling the milestones of a discography familiar to the general public. A date that places Vanessa Paradis at the centre of what she does most directly: songs conceived for the stage.
