The rest after the ad
Love, he sings it, he plays it, he composes it… above all, he lives it. Alain Souchon has been in a relationship with Françoise for decades. He married the woman who nicknamed Belote on November 20, 1971 and he has loved her like crazy ever since. Together they had two sons, Pierre and Charles – better known under the pseudonym Bear. But their story has had its ups and downs.

Alain Souchon and Isabelle Adjani actually had a very strong love affair in the 1980s.

We were very in love with each other.” But of course, an obstacle prevented this love story from really blossoming: Alain Souchon was already married to Françoise. And when she understood that he would never leave his wife, Isabelle Adjani slammed the door on her heart forever. “She pissed me off, concludes the great friend of Laurent Voulzy. I was very unhappy, but that was fine.” Despite this “stormy moment”, Françoise managed to forgive this prank. It was destiny, no doubt, if her husband became so attached to their story…
