On the set of Tout Beau, Tout Neuf (TBT9) on April 28, Fabien Lecoeuvre dedicated a chronicle to Celine Dion by revealing what he presents as “the 5 secrets” of the singer. Between personal habits, undisclosed investments, and career memories, these revelations paint an unexpected portrait of the artist.
An extraordinary collection: 11,000 pairs of shoes
A remarkable first element: Celine Dion’s passion for shoes. According to Fabien Lecoeuvre, the singer would own around 11,000 pairs. To store them, she reportedly bought a hangar in Las Vegas about five years ago.
A specific organization would have been put in place: models are said to be stored by season, with someone in charge of selecting the shoes according to the different times of the year.
This passion would date back to her beginnings. During a meeting with René Angélil, she was reportedly inspired by his shoes, promising herself to buy some as soon as she could afford it.
A superstition linked to a coin in the shoe
Another peculiarity: a habit dating back to 1982.
Fabien Lecoeuvre explains that Celine Dion regularly places a coin in her right shoe, considered a lucky charm.
This tradition is said to have originated at a French song festival in Tokyo, where she was selected in fifth position, a number that became symbolic for her.
On stage, without pockets, she would have slipped a 5-yen coin into her shoe before singing. A gesture she is said to have kept since then.
An unexpected favorite dish
As for her diet, the singer allegedly has a very marked preference.
Her favorite dish would be baba ganoush, a preparation based on eggplant, garlic, lemon, and olive oil.
According to Fabien Lecoeuvre, she regularly consumes it and frequently asks her chef to prepare it for her.
Discreet investments in Montreal
Among the lesser-known elements discussed on the show: investments in the food industry.
Celine Dion would reportedly own sandwich shops in Montreal, associated with the name Schwartz’s, a well-known address in the city. This point is presented as little publicized in her career.
A musical nod to Jean-Jacques Goldman
Finally, the chronicle mentions a musical detail related to her collaboration with Jean-Jacques Goldman.
In the song “Dansons”, released recently, a vocalise located at 3 minutes and 7 seconds would resonate with another present in “Les derniers seront les premiers”, an older title.
According to Fabien Lecoeuvre, this parallel is a nod to their artistic relationship, more than 30 years after their first collaborations.
A chronicle between anecdotes and career memories
Through these five elements, the chronicle broadcast on TBT9 offers a series of anecdotes intertwining personal life, habits, and significant career memories of Celine Dion.
Presented as little known, these details contribute to enriching the image of an artist whose trajectory continues to arouse public interest. Watch the full episode for free on M6+ or without ads on M6+MAX. “Tout Beau, Tout Neuf” airs Monday to Friday starting at 6:45 pm on W9.
