At 77 years old today, Louis Chedid releases his 18th studio album, Dreamer, dreamer. An opus that he may have recorded in his private lair. Last November, the newspaper The Sunday stand went to interview him at his home. Thus we learn that the artist lives “a few steps from the Montparnasse cemetery“. Louis Chedid therefore lives in Paris in the 14 arrondissement of Paris, not far from this place which counts among those who remain there eternally: Charles Baudelaire, Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques Chirac, Mireille Darc, Alfred Dreyfus, Marguerite Duras, Serge Gainsbourg , Juliette Greco, Guy de Maupassant, Michèle Morgan, Philippe Noiret, Jean Poiret, Jean-Paul Sartre, Georges Wolinski and more recently Jane Birkin.
A neighborhood whose square meter costs no less than 10,710 euros depending on the site Real Estate Vector. If we still wish him not to have a direct view of this resting place, Louis Chedid has a major asset in his property: “on the ground floor, its recording studio“, writes the publication. A chance for an artist! The father of four children: Émilie, director and documentary maker, Matthieu (M), Anna (known as Nach) and Joseph (known as Selim), all four singers, must certainly all frequent this piece that is rarely found in a private home.
The countryside-loving Chedid clan
In this interview, Louis Chedid also spoke of his love for nature: “Like many artists, Sunday is a day like any other. I’m not a retired grandfather [Matthieu Chedid a par exemple trois enfants : Billie, née en 2002 de sa précédente relation, Tao, né en 2019 et une petite fille née en décembre 2021 dont la mère est Loïca Saint-M’leux, ndlr]. And when time permits, the Chedid family spends two or three days together in the countryside.“
A family home located in Seine-et-Marne. “It is a haven of peace, a remarkable place“perfect for yourself”disconnect from work” et “immerse yourself in nature“, explained Matthieu Chedid to Parisian Weekend. “The house is surrounded by magnificent trees, like a Lebanese cedar which was planted in 1789. It takes me back to my origins!“, he continued. And concluded: “This is my refuge. I’m there like an owl in its hole. It is approximately 12 square meters, with a terrace overlooking a pond. And there, I compose, I write, I read while always being very calm.” Clearly, the Chedid family cannot design a home without a studio!
