Suzie & the Mad Men declare their love for Paris through their new show "WE LOVE PARIS".
As the dawn of the Olympic Games approaches in the capital, Suzie and her three accomplices take us on a journey through the epochs of the City of Light. We relive the Paris of yesteryear: "Paname" (Léo Ferré). The one before yesterday: "La romance de Paris" (Charles Trenet), "À Paris dans chaque Faubourg", "Ménilmontant". And finally, that of today: "Paris j'ai pris perpète" (Émilie Simon), "la rue de Ménilmontant" (Camille). We stroll through its neighborhoods, its streets, and among its monuments: "Les Champs-Elysées" (Joe Dassin), "La complainte de la butte" (Jean Renoir, Georges Van Parys), "Ménilmontant" (Charles Trenet), "Belleville Rendez-vous" (Charest-Chomet), "la Seine" (-M-). And this, at any time of the day: "Paris s'éveille" (Jacques Dutronc), "Les nuits parisiennes" (Louise Attaque). We find colorful characters: "Le poinçonneur des Lilas" (Serge Gainsbourg), "Le quidam" (Guy Béart) or "Germaine" (Renaud), in the Sorbonne neighborhood. We also contemplate Paris through the eyes of foreigners who have loved, visited, and celebrated it: "I love Paris" (Cole Porter), "The Last Time I Saw Paris" (Henry Mancini), "My sunshine, Emily in Paris" (Ashley Park). In Paris, we declare our love: "Paris, Paris", "J'ai 2 amours" (Joséphine Baker), "Paris je t'aime d'Amour". Despite the ups and downs, one thing remains certain: "Paris will always be Paris" (Willemetz-Oberfeld).
