Véronique Sanson swings on her sister Violaine

For more than 50 years, Véronique Sanson has enchanted us with her great songs, fromin love To nothing but waterPassing by my reverence or Song about my funny life, which experienced a second youth in 2010 with the cover of Géraldine Nakache and Leïla Bekthi on the soundtrack of the film Everything that shines. But just as much as for her magnificent texts and her superb melodies, it is also for her sensitive sensitivity and her sincerity that we love Véronique Sanson. Two character traits that come through every time she responds to interviews, even if it means sometimes being very critical.

Not tender with Claude François, nor with his sister!

Thus, on Monday January 16, 2023, guest on the show It’s up to you, the singer, who was married to Pierre Palmade, did not hesitate to say what she thought of Claude François. “I did a two-week tour with him, he never said hello to me, he never spoke to me“, she let go, facing Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine. Quite frank, it is very natural that she confided in Nathalie Lévy this Monday, February 6, 2023 in the program As an aside. Asked about one of her old statements where she said she was “the nicest girl in the world“, she explained what exactly she meant by that.”I think I’m the least resentful girl in the world! I’ve never had this feeling, which is a horrible feeling, which wastes your time, wastes your energy, it’s very very negative. I think I was programmed like this“, she detailed. Véronique Sanson could have stopped there, but she wanted to compare her way of being with that of Violaine, her older sister. “My sister is the most resentful girl I know. She sticks to it. It’s terrible, she does not forgive at all, ever. If, for example, I shake hands with someone who has hurt me, she says to me: ‘But how can you shake her hand? You realize ? You’re crazy ! It’s not good!’ And I tell him: ‘I don’t care'”she let go.

Different, but also very close

This little confidence with regard to his sister should not however call into question the very strong bond which unites them, because Véronique and Violaine sounds very close. Both have in particular made a pact and have promised to help the other to die in the event of an incurable disease. Undeniable proof of their unfailing complicity. And even if Violaine confided that she resented her sister when she left Michel Berger without warning to join Stephen Stills in the United States in 1972, the artist remains very protective of her little sister, as she explained to our colleagues from Gala in 2022. “Mom knew that the arrival of a second child could be a real drama for the first, so when Véro was born, two years after me, she announced it to me by saying: ‘We are going to have a baby, is mine, but it’s also yours, so you’ll take care of it, you’re responsible.’ Lo and behold, it’s been seventy-three years, and it’s still my baby!”, she said with a laugh, before adding that she always felt “tvery responsible of what she was, concerned with everything that could happen to her.” No doubt, despite their differences, Véronique Sanson and her sister love each other very much!
