Albi tribute concert honors Véronique Sanson and France Gall
On 18 July 2026, Sandrine Alexi, known for her work on the satirical TV show Les Guignols de l'Info, performed a tribute concert in Albi, France, celebrating the music of Véronique Sanson and the late France Gall. The event, called "Les Groupies du pianiste," was part of the free summer programme "Place(s) aux artistes" organized by the Grand Albigeois and local tourism offices.
Alexi forewent her usual comedic impersonations to deliver sincere renditions of the two singers' classic songs, accompanied by a band. The concert was presented as a heartfelt homage rather than a karaoke night, aiming to thank the artists who shaped the lives of many listeners.
The performance was highlighted in local media, noting the shift in Alexi's career from parody to genuine musical tribute, and was promoted as a cultural highlight of the city’s summer season.
