Faced with Mireille Dumas, Thomas Dutronc spoke about his feelings about the city of Paris as well as his potential desire to change his life. Tired of permanent traffic jams, work and pollution in the City of Lights, Françoise Hardy's son no longer sees things the same way and plans to leave the capital.
Guest on the set of the show Paris en Chansons on July 5, 2024, the son of Françoise Hardy - who died on June 11 at the age of 80 - and Jacques Dutronc shared his pessimistic feelings regarding the City of Lights. A place where he no longer sees himself living due to the numerous works and projects implemented by Paris City Hall. An environment in which the 51-year-old French singer no longer really feels comfortable.
Facing host Mireille Dumas, he explains: "Obviously with age, I understand all the people who have gone green. My father has nothing left in Paris, it's funny. I would have a hard time still not having a pied-à-terre here even if I decided to go elsewhere But it's true that I really like it less. Today I aspire to have more living space. So all this linked to this kind of obsession with cycling, to permanent work, with pollution... There is still something that has changed."
Anne Hidalgo is the “last straw”
This is not the first time that Thomas Dutronc regrets the atmosphere which he considers gloomy in the French capital. Last February, he denounced the traffic and permanent traffic jams in Paris. Very upset with the current mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, he indicated on Instagram that it had become impossible to travel within Paris intra muros due to the works and new developments in Paris. "Gare du Nord... I spend 15-30 minutes at the stop thanks to the work of Anne Hidalgo, this has happened to me every day for months and years, almost everywhere in Paris, this is the drop of water! I have my guitar and two big bags, the bike is not for me. Why are I and the motorists who cannot do otherwise punished to this extent? could be read under a photograph taken in a taxi.
Thomas Dutronc is also not the only one to complain about what Paris has become since other personalities like Mathilde Seigner, Cyril Hanouna and Paul Belmondo have already made violent rants against the mayor of Paris.
