Quebec star Céline Dion arrived at Le Bourget airport, near Paris, on Friday, about two weeks before the start of a series of concerts sparking worldwide enthusiasm, an airport source told AFP.
The singer landed at midday and left Le Bourget airport around 1 p.m., this source said.
She was on a long-haul private jet from Las Vegas in the United States.
She must go to the luxury hotel where she will stay during her Parisian residency.
Celine Dion plans to give a series of 16 concerts in France, marking her reunion with the public after more than six years when she was forced to move away from the stage. Her plans have been hampered by the rare neurological disease she suffers from.
Its shows will be held from September 12 at the Plenitude Arena, a huge indoor venue located in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine).
She plans to perform three concerts per week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, in front of more than 30,000 spectators per evening. Ten other concerts are also planned for May 2027.
The return of the star with some 260 million albums sold arouses the fervor of fans around the world, who scrambled to try to get their tickets to hear the singer of the hits “My heart will go on” and “Pour que tu m’aimes encore”.
Celine Dion’s last performance in France dates from July 2024, during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games. At the Eiffel Tower, she performed “Hymne à l’amour” by Edith Piaf.
