What is the connection between Colette Magny and Verfeil-sur-Seye? This great lady of French chanson—an exacting, committed, rebellious, and defiant singer, long overlooked by the media—spent the last 20 years of her life there.

She left an indelible mark not only on the often overly commercial world of show business, but also on the hearts of the people of Verfeil. Proof of this can be found in the two major events held in her memory in the village, in 2017 and 2022.

Périne Magny-Lecoy, her niece, offers us an emotional journey through her memories and excerpts from songs, which she puts back into their original context. She also sets the record straight in her book “Put the Western Back the Right Way Around.”
