Side flavor on Sunday welcomes chefs, producers, artisans of the food trades. Together we go back in time through the year of their choice. For Jérôme, it’s the year 1997. A bit of nostalgia and above all a lot of good humor.
In 1997 Jerome Rousseau already a cook left to do his military service in French Polynesia. He landed in Tahiti in the service of the admiral, in his private residence. A heavenly year that will finally last 2 years. A journey that changed Jérôme Rousseau.
This year
January 27 a study reports nearly 2,000 works of art looted by the Nazis during the Second World War from French museums, which had nevertheless hidden their most beautiful pieces. Today we talk about the works of African artists looted during colonization Are you sensitive to Art? Yes Jérôme Rousseau is sensitive to Art, Gauguin necessarily that he discovered there but also Pop Art and Dali.
April 21 it is the dissolution of the National Assembly pronounced by the President of the French Republic, Jacques Chirac in order to anticipate the elections.
In 1997 terrible tropical storms hit Tahiti and its atolls this is what we heard on the overseas portal Sound archive.
That year we listened on the radio:
- Joe Cocker: Never forget,
- Andrea Bocelli: Con te Partiro
- Elton john: Candle in the wind

It’s Andrea Boccelli what did Jérôme choose in memory of a car trip with a friend who was singing out loud Con te Départo
