It was she who transmitted to him the importance of knowledge and reading.

In The institutesong taken from his latest album Once again (Columbia), Patrick Bruel pays tribute to his mother and to all the teachers. “They are the first heroes of the Republic“, he explains to the school children. “They are the ones who give children the first keys to entering society. It is necessary more than to respect them, it is necessary to value them.“A militant and passionate message that the artist has already relayed in schools in Bordeaux and Marseille before addressing soon to young Parisians.
