Vanessa Paradis

On July 3, 2026, at the Jardin Public in Cognac, Vanessa Paradis returns to the stage with a repertoire that spans the years without losing its thread. Discovered very young with “Joe le taxi,” she has since built a distinctive discography, nourished by notable collaborations: Serge Gainsbourg for “Variations sur le même t’aime,” -M- for “Divinidylle” and the soundtrack to “Un monstre à Paris,” and then Benjamin Biolay for the double album “Love Songs.”

In concert, she arranges her songs like a travel journal: catchy pop refrains, shadowy ballads, and a few groovier detours. The voice remains at the center—calm, supple—carried by arrangements that favor restraint and the dynamics of live performance. You encounter the songs that made her known, replayed with today’s depth, alongside more recent pieces that slip naturally into the set. An evening to travel through several chapters of the same story of songs, taken as they are, between softness and edge, in the heart of Cognac.
