At 80, singer Jacques Dutronc published his memoirs in a book entitled “Et moi, et moi, et moi”, to tell the story of his life, his successes, his loves and his doubts too. Le 13 Heures met him at his home in Corsica.
He hardly ever leaves his adopted island. Jacques Dutronc loves the landscapes of Balagne, which invite contemplation, the cats that roam, and of course his garden full of… cacti. The singer publishes And me and me and me, his memoirs, 80 years of life, almost 60 years of career and a head full of memories. “Diving back into your youth, like that, at times, the water is cold, and then at times, the water is very good, it’s pleasant. We feel good“, he confides.
An iconic couple with Françoise Hardy
Jacques Dutronc is a spoiled child of show business, for whom everything has succeeded. Seductive dandy with clear eyes, who had a string of hits in the 60s. He and Françoise Hardy formed an iconic couple, both successful singers, in very different registers. “Love songs aren’t really my thing. Maybe I’m going to be too sensitive about this kind of stuff“, confides Jacques Dutronc. In the anthology of memories, there are the essential friends: the Gainsbourgs, Johnny and Eddy.
