Grand Prize of the Disc of the Telegram twice in 2015 (“L’Encre à rêver”) and in 2018 for the album “Harmonie” with Dan ar Braz, the singer from Morlais who became known around the world with the comedy musical The Ten Commandments by Elie Chouraqui and Pascal Obispo, assumed for the first time a leading role in the Breton language at the cinema in the film “Noz” by Soazig Daniellou in 2021. Clarisse Lavanant celebrates in 2022 with her 12th album “Ici” 20 years of song: a kind of response to his album “Where is it elsewhere?” which was announced in 2002 with the Sacem prize from the Radio France Trophies.

The favorite spot of the singer: The port of Sainte-Marine
Attached to the bay of Morlaix where she settled there almost 20 years ago after a childhood in Le Mans and Paris, Clarisse Lavanant likes to swim there from March to November in waters that are not always very warm. But she has a soft spot for the port of Combrit-Sainte-Marine in southern Finistère and its dune coast path to Île-Tudy.
