My wife did not want to go on vacation to the South, so we went to Normandy and she fell in love with the region. We then bought a house. It was 60 years ago. Our children grew up in the great outdoors with the Norman sun.

Even if he came less and less often to his second home in Tourgévillehe composed several songs there: “It’s an ideal place to write. We are carried by the sweetness of life. We don't experience this madness, the dementia, the noise that we can experience in Paris. We live in concentration, in reading what is beautiful. Normandy is a particularly favorable place to create. »
