"We come out of the somewhat unreal and enchanted world of the tour, where people take care of you and where you are pampered.

Our pace of life is very shifted, it's the luck we have as musicians. , at that moment, you realize that a lot of things were going on during the four days when you were on a little cloud. "

Before this return to normal life, the group performed at Vieilles Charrues on Wednesday evening. "And Tuesday, we were Francofolies from La Rochelle", remembers the singer of Fire! Chatterton. "The stage was huge, in front of a big esplanade, and the box for five musicians was tiny. I also like this side 'upside down' which brings you back to a balance. There are enchanted things and you really have to. enjoy, because all that is spectacle: everything is held together by pieces of string. I really like this idea. "
