Bénabar

Bénabar will perform at the Palais des Congrès in Versailles on December 11, 2026. A songwriter attentive to the details of everyday life, he turns small scenes into songs—between mischievous dialogues and playful confessions—carried by rhythmic writing and melodies crafted for the stage. You’ll find the same blend of chanson, pop and brass, with piano at the forefront, arrangements that play on energy and subtlety, and his knack for portraying characters accurately without exaggeration.

On stage, he draws as much from his early hits as from his more recent records, from Reprise des négociations to Indocile heureux, and through songs that have become reference points for a whole generation. Surrounded by a tight-knit band that shifts from swing to ballad in the blink of an eye, he alternates lively numbers and intimate, near-microphone confidences—a musical conversation where the choruses resonate. A concert designed to share hummable songs and stories told, in an intimate venue in Versailles.
