Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis returns to the stage on Friday, July 24, 2026, at the Hôtel-Dieu de Carpentras, Carpentras. She will present her new album, "The Return of Better Days", co-written and produced with Étienne Daho and Jean‑Louis Piérot. The record revisits the pop and soul vein that runs through her career, offering pared-down songs that draw close to the voice and to emotion.

On stage, she unfolds these new tracks with seventies-tinged colors—between a supple groove, cinematic elegance and retro accents—propelled by crunchy guitars and precise arrangements. The lyrics speak of joy and longing, of impulses of the heart and stories that rub up against reality, in an intimate and direct writing. The set places the new material in dialogue with songs from her repertoire, conceived for a lively listening experience, between pop pulses and gentler respites.

This tour is an opportunity to rediscover Vanessa Paradis in an intimate format close to the audience, with songs that take shape live and set the tone for a musical summer. The fine days announced by the record continue here, in Carpentras.
