Charlotte et Montréal

It was a chilly night when I found out that a favorite chanteuse of mine will be performing soon, not in Toronto but in Montréal… within a few minutes, I found myself behind this same screen, buying tickets for her second show in city, which happened this past weekend…

Montréal and everything it has to offer always make me smile… last weekend didn’t disappoint: my sunny demeanor started from the train ride accompanied by my love ones, continued straight on to corner cafes, on the streets, at jazz bars, at Charlotte’s gig, to the chug-chugging train back home…


I’ve always respected Charlotte Gainsbourg, not because of her iconic parents, but because of her own attitude and inner beauty, seen on big screens and felt through her music… the gig had my kind of atmosphere… great crowd… very intimate… and did I mention great songs?! I usually rate a live show based on my own experience and the level of good energy I got out of this one was right up there with the best of them!

I already miss Montréal and sense that another visit is on its way…

Soon!

In town to promote her new CD, 5:55, which went platinum in France, she is very polite rather than very chic or very louche. “Where would you like to sit?” she asks.
