IN PICTURES – In the collection on Sylvie Vartan of this Icaunaise based in Tanlay

“It’s a shock, that’s for sure. Afterwards, at 80, I understand that she stops,” smiles Mychèle Gaumet, surrounded by all these objects bearing the image of her lifelong idol: Sylvie Vartan. At 76 years old, the Icaunaise, based in Tanlay, explores her important collection with as much passion as ever.

This Friday, November 8, 2024, the two women will see each other once again for a special concert. Entitled “I draw my bow”, Sylvie Vartan’s latest tour wants to offer her fans one last gift before the artist leaves the stage behind her. The singer performs at the Dôme de from November 8 to 10 and at the Palais des Congrès, from January 24 to 26, 2025.
