Aranjuez Mon Amour

"Parlez-moi d'amour" is a timeless French song that has won the hearts of many since its release in the early 20th century. The song, which translates to "Speak to me of love," was written and originally performed by a celebrated French chanteuse, Lucienne Boyer. Its heartwarming melody and evocative lyrics have played a substantial role in it becoming a staple in the genre of French chanson.

Lucienne Boyer was born on August 18, 1903, in Paris, France. In her early 20s, she began to gain fame for her enchanting voice, with "Parlez-moi d'amour" as her most significant success. The song was composed by Jean Lenoir, who was known for creating enchanting melodies that are a perfect complement to Boyer's unique voice.

"Parlez-moi d'amour" was first recorded in 1930. The song's poetic and tender lyrics evoke the desire to hear sweet nothings or words of love, capturing the romantic sensibilities of the era. The popularity of "Parlez-moi d'amour" spread beyond France, reaching audiences around the globe.

In the decades following its initial release, the song has been covered by various artists, further testament to its timeless appeal. Some of the most noteworthy versions are by artists such as Dalida, Juliette Gréco, and more recently, Madeleine Peyroux, each bringing their distinctive interpretation to the classic tune.

The song's cultural impact was not limited to the realm of music. It has appeared in several films over the years. One of the most memorable inclusions was in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 2001 film "Amélie," where the song was used to encapsulate the whimsical romanticism that pervades the film.

Almost a century after its first release, "Parlez-moi d'amour" continues to be celebrated as a gem of French popular music, an enduring testament to the universal appeal of love and romance

Yves de Keersmaeker, initiales YdK, un interprète, narrateur d’histoires, dixit : ‘ce sont des images que je
dessine avec des mots’. Ex-décorateur international, ce sera la rencontre avec le coach vocal Seth Riggs
(Michael Bolton, Michael Jackson et autres) qui dirige le chanteur vers le répertoire crooner. Avec le coach Pierre-Yves Duchesne (Lara Fabian) il redécouvre les grands standards de la chanson française.
L’album ‘Atlantique-Atlantic’ est un voyage à travers des chansons françaises, qui sont devenus des
‘standards’ de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique. C’est un trait d’union avec son ancien métier d’antiquaire spécialisé en argenterie de grands hôtels et de paquebots.
La production stylée de Patrick Hamilton renoue avec la grandeur des années 50, et un grand orchestre de 50 violons. Un univers entre luxe et volupté, plein de grâce, une ambiance de vieux théâtre avec ses fauteuils en velours rouge. 
C’est aussi l’histoire d’un nouveau chemin de vie, le dépassement de soi, sortir de la zone de confort,
résister et céder, mais grandir dans l’aventure. Un changement d’horizon à l’aube de la cinquantaine.

“crooner”. Con el coach Pierre-Yves Duchesne (Lara Fabian) redescubre los grandes estándares de la canción francesa.
El álbum "Atlantique-Atlantic" es un viaje a través de canciones francesas reconocidas de ambos lados del Atlántico. Es un vínculo con su antigua profesión de anticuario especializado en platería para hoteles y transatlánticos.
La elegante producción de Patrick Hamilton recupera la grandiosidad de los años 50, con una gran
orquesta de 50 violines.
Un mundo de lujo y sensualidad, lleno de gracia, un ambiente de teatro antiguo completo con butacas de terciopelo rojo.
Es también la historia de un nuevo camino de vida, de superación personal, de salir de la zona de
confort, de resistir y ceder, pero creciendo siempre durante esta aventura. Un cambio de horizonte al
alba de cumplir sus cincuenta años.
