Relive the magic of Cloclo: a 100% live show with electrifying choreography, dazzling costumes, and timeless hits—from the yéyé era to full-on disco. A faithful, festive, and irresistibly effective tribute for festivals, theaters, and private events.
The Project
Tribute to Claude François is a turnkey production that recreates the energy, elegance, and signature stagecraft of Claude François. Led by Marion, a renowned physical and vocal look-alike, the show strings together the greatest classics (“Alexandrie Alexandra,” “Cette année-là,” “Magnolias for Ever”…), all sung live and powered by a troupe of dancers and musicians. Precision choreography, vivid lighting, and constant audience interaction—everything you need for an irresistibly danceable night.
The Artist — Marion
Born in Plessis-Trévise (Val-de-Marne), Marion discovered Claude François at age 10 and fell in love with his world. A first on-stage victory at a contest on the Île d’Oléron set her trajectory. Since then, she has multiplied shows across France, performed several times at the Moulin de Dannemois (Cloclo’s former home), and drawn media attention (TV, radio, press). She also appears in the book “Claude François de A à Z” (Albin Michel) and in the film “Podium.”
In 2008, marking 30 years since the singer’s passing, those close to Claude François named her Best European Look-alike. In 2012, her performance on the W9 TV show “À la recherche du nouveau Claude François” cemented her status with the public. A female artist with a striking resemblance, she delivers a show that travels from yéyé to disco without ever losing the emotion of the great love songs.
