Live A Paris
Celine Dion
Live à Paris is Céline Dion’s third live album, released in October 1996 and recorded at Le Zénith in Paris during her D’eux tour. Captured at the height of her mid‑1990s international breakthrough, the album runs a little over 73 minutes and presents 14 live tracks plus a bonus studio recording of “To Love You More.” It focuses primarily on her French‑language repertoire, especially songs from D’eux—the best‑selling French‑language album of all time—while weaving in a few English‑language hits to show the full breadth of her catalog.
The setlist includes concert versions of “J’attendais,” “Destin,” “Je sais pas,” “Le ballet,” “Les derniers seront les premiers,” “J’irai où tu iras,” “Pour que tu m’aimes encore,” and “Vole,” along with powerful covers and cross‑language staples such as “The Power of Love,” “River Deep, Mountain High,” Jacques Brel’s “Quand on n’a que l’amour,” and the Ike & Tina Turner classic “River Deep, Mountain High.” Critics praised the album for conveying the energy and atmosphere of her Paris shows: AllMusic noted that it has “more of a rock feel” than any of her other records and that Dion “raises the roof” while remaining just as adept with harder material as with ballads. Commercially, Live à Paris was a major success, debuting at number one in France, Belgium (Wallonia), Switzerland, and Quebec, selling around two million copies in Europe, and earning multiple awards including the Juno for Best Selling Francophone Album and Félix trophies for Best Pop Rock Album and Best Selling Album.
