“Paris will always be Paris” sang Maurice Chevalier. Although the French capital continues to inspire artists around the world, the residents of the City of Lights seem to have had enough. Guest on the airwaves of RTL this Thursday, December 14, 2023, Didier Bourdon, emblematic member of Unknown, confided in his desire to leave the city of love.
“As soon as I can, I’m leaving.”he revealed before destroying one of the most beautiful cities in the world. “It’s a question of balance. When you’re young you love Paris, but afterward with the children… There’s work everywhere, I hope it will be better after the Olympic Games because it becomes unbearable.”

“It’s complicated Paris”
Far from stopping there, the acolyte of Bernard Campan and Pascal Légitimus also pointed out the overcrowded metros. “I don’t take it because my notoriety means that… It’s not that people would attack me, but the looks… My daughters on the other hand often went on foot because it was full, drunk.” As for the bus, “traffic jams” are a real problem. “It’s complicated Paris”, he concluded.

Present at his side, the comedian and actor Hakim Jemili, only confirmed his counterpart’s words. “Paris for a young couple is a bit oppressive. We feel good there, we’re not going to complain either, but it’s true that my wife and I thought about leaving the area. We’ve moved out a little, we’re a little more in the suburbs now, but more and more close friends are thinking of leaving Paris.” he confided. The capital has visibly lost its splendor.
