  • Very rare book of an unpublished poem by Marcel Mouloudji

poem which was set to music in 1976.

Mouloudji, who would have been a hundred years old on September 16, 2022, left his mark on French song. The man who composed "L'amour, l'amour, l'amour" was even a big star in the 1950s, winning people's hearts with his endearing personality and his smile tinged with melancholy.

“Mouloudji is the great forgotten of the mythical band of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, adds Laurent Balandras. At the heyday of the district at the end of the 50's, he was the child of Sartre and Beauvoir, the little brother of Boris Vian and Juliette Gréco. In the collective image, we have retained the image of a committed singer because of his interpretation of Boris Vian's “Déserteur”, but he was also a singer of love. He sang a lot Prévert, Ferré, Barbara.

He was a kind of maverick, he already found it extraordinary to be paid to sing. Its centenary is an opportunity to discover its natural eloquence, the precision of its interpretation and its quality repertoire.


  • Illustrated by Gilbert Sabatier

of which Mouloudji said "painter of loneliness and solitudes Gilbert Sabatier through the underground fields of his imaginary worlds shapes other possible realities where universes of timelessness are born and die".


"My paintings are an attempt to decipher the horizons of the beyond, surrounded by impassable walls that are inaccessibility, infinity and eternity".
