Céline Dion's comeback: Why did she choose Paris? • FRANCE 24 English

Céline Dion was set to make her long-awaited return to the stage in Paris on Saturday after years of battling a rare neurological disorder, with fans counting down the hours until showtime. But why did she choose this city? "It's not just the Olympics effect. Paris was the launch pad for her career. Beyond Quebec, through the '80s and early '90s, commentators have always mentioned that Paris is like a second home for her," says our guest Nick Rees-Roberts, professor of media, culture and communication at Sorbonne Nouvelle University. #CélineDion #Paris #JO 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
