The beloved singer reflects on her music career and relationship with her much younger partner.

Celebrated French singer Michèle Torr is set to captivate her audience once again, performing at Dani Lary's exhilarating magic workshop on March 2, 2025. This performance follows her successful recent release of the album Les 50 plus belles chansons containing over 460 tracks, produced by Universal.

Je vis avec une personne beaucoup plus jeune que moi, que j'ai appris à connaître et que j'ai souhaité rencontrer. Il s'appelle Stéphane et vivait en Côte d'Ivoire, son pays d'origine." Now, at just 27 years old, Stéphane has relocated to Aix-en-Provence and is successfully building his life alongside Michèle.
