Dîner-Spectacle - 100% Delpech "Ces Mots-Là"

This dinner-show in Menton is a tribute to Michel Delpech, the French singer-songwriter whose career ran for more than fifty years. The evening is performed by Nicolas Reyno, who had the privilege of opening for Delpech on several occasions in the 2000s and has built the show as a personal homage to him. The programme follows Delpech's path from "Chez Laurette" to "Pour un flirt", with "Le Loir et Cher" along the way. Delpech wrote most of his own lyrics, and his slightly nostalgic romances turned everyday life and society into song, which is why he remained such a popular figure. The tribute covers his best-known refrains as well as some of his more recent songs. The event takes place in the Salon Barrière at the Casino Barrière Menton. Menton is the last major town on the French coast before the Italian border, known for its lemons, its gardens and its old town climbing the hillside above the sea. An evening at the casino makes an easy addition to a day in the town. The ticket covers both the dinner, drinks included, and the show. The menu opens with the cocktail "Fan de toi", followed by a thin goat's cheese tart, then salmon Tom Yum with coconut milk and buttered spinach shoots. Dessert is Le Nuage, a cloud-shaped pavlova with crisp meringue and vanilla cream, and the meal is served with wine and mineral water. This suits fans of French chanson, and anyone who likes to pair a good meal with live music in a seated setting. Smart dress is required, and entry is reserved for adults who can show a valid piece of identification. Doors open 30 minutes before the show begins, which leaves time to settle in before the first song.
