Ten years after releasing her last album, Nathalie Simard finally returns with Il y avait un jardin. This new production is undoubtedly the artist’s musical secret garden, a sort of compilation of the songs that move her and that she holds most dear. These are songs she grew up with, and for which she didn’t always know the authors personally. The project was therefore an opportunity to meet them at last. It was in the paradisiacal setting of the Greek islands that the singer met up with Jacques Michel on his boat. A true reunion between Nathalie Simard and this author and long-time collaborator. This special program is an invitation to travel. A geographical journey, a discographic journey and a human journey. The whole world of Nathalie Simard as globetrotter, as she shares the emotions generated by her encounters with the camera.
