This Sunday, December 1st, Louis Chedid will be one of Frédéric Lopez's guests in A Sunday in the countryside. An appearance during which the 76-year-old artist will probably talk about his career but also his peaceful life in the countryside. Having already lived in the Luberon for many years, the father of the artists Matthieu and Anna Chedid appreciates being able to enjoy a peaceful daily life, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. A pleasure that he discovered during his childhood, when he lived in the town of Bouc-Bel-Air (in Bouches-du-Rhône).

According to the revelations made by Louis Chedid to France Blue on November 2, it was quite simply because he was seduced by the charm of a completely different region: the Luberon. Indeed, during an impromptu trip to the town of Lourmarin, the singer was seduced by the landscapes and the surrounding nature. “The Luberon reminds me of childhood memories, which are for me my best memories“, he confided, nostalgic.

He took me to dinner in Lourmarin at Reine Sammut. Inevitably, I fell in love with the area“, he subsequently revealed.
Still as amazed by the Luberon, Louis Chedid did not forget, during this same interview, to recall what are the things which, still today, fascinate him when he passes through the south of France . “The quality of life, the people, the blue of the sky, as well as the shape of the clouds, which is magnificent. Spring and summer are great seasons here, but I admit I also have a weakness for fall. We feel the change of light, we find ourselves a little more in the mist“, he continued.
