Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis will be performing at Forest National on 16 April 2026. A singer and actress, she has forged a distinctive career since her debut with 'Joe le taxi', moving between pop, folk and chanson. Her albums, from Variations sur le même t’aime to Divinidylle, via Love Songs and Les Sources, have shaped a broad repertoire where ballads sit alongside more driving numbers. On stage she navigates between well-known songs and more recent material, supported by a delicate voice and spare arrangements that leave room for the lyrics.

Her artistic world has been enriched by notable collaborations — from Serge Gainsbourg to Benjamin Biolay, and including Lenny Kravitz or M — each of whom brought a particular colour to her records. This Forest National date highlights songwriting and melody, with a thread running through all periods of her discography. An evening conceived to rediscover the essence of her songs, to hear classics again and to discover other tracks, in a simple and precise stage format faithful to her way of bringing her music to life.
