Direction Saint Mandé, in the Val de Marne, at Bénabar. A cityvillage atmosphere that the singer was looking for: “We really have a village life in Saint-Mandé, which is a little cultivated by all Saint-Mandéens elsewhere. […] Even though we are 400m from Paris, the climate is a bit different “.
It is therefore no accident for Bénabar of settle in the suburbs and maintain links with traders from the neighborhood : “it’s very important, it’s even central“. A living environment for him, but also for his children ( “I wanted the children to be able to walk to school, which is a huge luxury“) that he likes to find when he comes back from tour:”arriving in a kind of cocoon, in a village, it’s very reassuring“.
