Preference for activity over idleness, a fondness for train travel evident.
Jeanne Cherhal, a renowned French musician, singer, and pianist, has announced an extensive tour schedule for 2025-2026. The tour will take her across France, allowing fans in various cities to experience her live performances.
In April, Cherhal released her latest album titled "Jeanne" in collaboration with Benjamin Biolay. The album consists of dancing, poetic ballads, as well as feminist and committed songs. Since its release, she has been touring for many months.
The upcoming tour includes multiple concerts. In August, Cherhal will perform near Montpellier at Parc de l'Orangerie, Lunel-Viel. Other key dates include October 4, 2025, at Paris's Espace Michel Simon, Noisy-le-Grand, and November 21, 2025, in Cergy, Le Douze.
December will see a series of concerts, including L'Olympia in Paris, Théâtre Galli in Sanary-sur-Mer, Théâtre de Thionville, and Le Radiant Bellevue in Caluire-et-Cuire. The tour will continue in February 2026 with a concert in Mérignac - Bordeaux, followed by shows in Joué-lès-Tours - Tours, Cannes, Nantes at Cite des Congres, Saint-Quentin, and concluding in April 2026.
A concert is also planned for October 2025 in Rungis at Théâtre de Rungis. Details and tickets for all shows are available through listed venues and event platforms.
Cherhal's studio, inspired by the lush little jungle in front of her large window, serves as her muse during the summer months. However, she is not a fan of songs generated by artificial intelligence.
One moving song lyric for Cherhal is from Daniel Darc's song "Vers l'infini": How many winters / How much time / To listen / To the laughter / Of children / Of children who owe me nothing / Of children for whom I am nothing. On the other hand, she has never listened to any albums by Frank Zappa and considers them missing from her playlist.
Cherhal has a room of her own with a piano, microphones, and carpets, which she considers her studio. She prefers live performances over studio work this summer. After her summer tour, she plans to rest following several intense months.
The ancient theater of Les Nuits de Fourvière in Lyon is Cherhal's dream summer location. "Tombé du ciel" by Jacques Higelin is a song that has always accompanied her. During vacations, she enjoys swimming and hiking at mountains and beaches.
Throughout her career, Cherhal has had memorable experiences. The writing and recording of "Brandt Rhapsodie" with Benjamin Biolay fifteen years ago is her best memory as a singer. However, a man dressing as some kind of Casimir unexpectedly appeared on stage during a concert twenty years ago, making her uncomfortable and terrified.
Despite her success, Cherhal dislikes being asked lazy questions such as "Jeanne Cherhal, can you introduce yourself?" or those that aren't really questions like "So Jeanne, why this album?" She has never been asked the question "Exactly the previous question!"
Cherhal recently answered Proust's summer questionnaire. She is an evening person and prefers mountains and beaches during vacations. Her favorite disk is "Le Fil" by Camille. Despite her busy schedule, she dislikes songs generated by artificial intelligence, finding them impersonal and lacking the human touch.
Culture and lifestyle intertwine for Jeanne Cherhal, as she composes dancing, poetic ballads, and feminist songs in her home-and-garden studio inspired by nature. Traveling across France, she continues to share her music live on stage during her extensive 2025-2026 tour, visiting various cities and historic venues such as Parc de l'Orangerie, Lunel-Viel, Espace Michel Simon, Noisy-le-Grand, Le Douze, and Cite des Congres in Nantes.
