Hervé Vilard

Hervé Vilard returns to the stage on 9 February 2027 at La Passerelle in Florange. A leading figure of French song, he has been carving out, since the sixties, a path of clear melodies and texts that tell stories, ranging from ballads to popular refrains. Brought to public attention in 1965 by "Capri c’est fini," he continued with songs that have become familiar, such as "Nous," "Venise pour l’éternité," "Reviens" and "Méditerranéenne." On stage he relies on his voice and storytelling, with a direct interpretation that gets to the essence.

On the program: a journey through his repertoire — from intimate songs to choruses that bring people together, including a few less often performed numbers. Classics sit alongside carefully chosen pieces that trace the arc of a long career, in close interaction with the audience. Whether you have followed him for many years or are discovering him now, you will find the same signature: melodic French chanson, carried by a strong sense of the refrain and precise diction. Hervé Vilard, simply, as close as possible to his songs.
