It wasn't the rain that was going to spoil the party.
Thursday, July 7 marked the last day of school before the summer holidays for the children but also the last day for Madame Béguignot.
The director of the Jean Monnet primary school in Vincennes has retired after 24 years in National Education.
The teaching staff and the school's 300 students took the opportunity to surprise her that she will not soon forget: Julien Clerc, between two dates of his summer tour Les Jourshappy, made a stopover in Vincennes to perform
Mademoiselle
, a song from his latest album that pays tribute to teachers.
“My infinite gratitude”
“Mademoiselle who taught me reading and poetry,”
hums a bouquet of flowers and microphone in hand, the singer advancing towards the teacher.
He interprets his title accompanied by the children, who for the occasion, had learned the words by heart.
“These are the words of Didier Barbelivien, which speak of these people to whom we owe everything.
Because it's people who bring us into life.
It's a song about teachers, ”
explained Julien Clerc in 2021, on the set of Europe 1.
A tribute, already seen more than 143,000 times on Twitter in less than 24 hours, which Madame Béguignot should remember for a long time.
