“I have a slightly strange notion of time”: Laurent Voulzy confides in his age difference with his partner, Isaure Le Faou, 33 years his junior

“We have an age difference, I don’t see it,” said Laurent Voulzy, causing hilarity on the set. This Friday, May 8, the interpreter of Belle-ÃŽle-en-Mer and his partner, Isaure Le Faou, were guests on the show “C à Vous”. Faced with Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine, the couple agreed to share some confidences about their relationship, starting by discussing the age difference that separates the two artists. Indeed, the singer, aged 77, is 33 years apart from his partner who is 44 years old. But he barely notices this age difference. HAS”It’s almost a criticism that people make of me sometimes. I am told that I have no concept of time. It took me three years to make an album, to record it. I don’t see the time passing, it’s almost a fault. So obviously we have an age difference, I don’t see it“, declared Laurent Voulzy before laughing and correcting himself. HAS”I still see her of course, I’m not stupid, but at the same time, I don’t see her. It may not last, but I have a somewhat strange notion of time, as I have often been told.»

“I cried throughout the concert”

Isaure Le Faou has been sharing Laurent Voulzy’s life for 7 years. As she explained on the set of “C à Vous”, it was she who took the first step by writing a letter to the singer to let him listen to the pieces she had composed. HAS”In fact I attended his concert, when he sang with Alain (Souchon, Editor’s note) and I cried throughout the concert“, she confided. HAS”So I wanted to make him listen to my songs and we met like that. We met at Place des Vosges (in Paris, Editor’s note) and we began a dialogue which has not stopped and which continues in music, in a book.» In front of the France 5 cameras, journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi recalled that Isaure Le Faou had grown up listening to the songs of Laurent Voulzy on his walkman.

She was very inspired by the artist’s work which made her want to become a singer herself. HAS”Laurent Voulzy, Alain Souchon, for me, they were absolute masters“, she admitted while adding that the interpreter of Sentimental Crowd  had a certain “art de la poésie» and that he was a role model for many people. HAS”And Laurent for me is one of the greatest melodists in the world, that is to say, he is of the caliber of people like Paul McCartney. People who have this notion of melody which, in France, marks us, because there aren’t that many in fact“, added Laurent Voulzy’s partner. A praise which did not fail to make the interpreter of Rockollection.
