“I really have a deep attachment for the region, for the people and with this authenticity that I feel at home,” he said, adding that many of his childhood memories were linked to it.
On the show The beautiful tour this Monday, the actor will resume the song April Fool, by Marc Déry, to pay tribute to his region. For him, this room evokes everything in his hometown, even if no place is specifically named.
“When I was a teenager, I always imagined that it happened on the edge of the Saint-Maurice River and that Marc went to the other side of the Matawin bridge to fish”, he liked to imagine on the phone.
“I ran into Marc Déry at one point and asked him what he was thinking when he wrote his song. He told me that it was exactly the convenience store I was thinking of, that it was exactly the places I had in mind,” continued Rémi-Pierre Paquin, still amazed.
The comedian will share his episode of The beautiful tour in Mauricie with his good friend David Savard, who, after going to his cottage, finally had one built nearby, as well as with Breen LeBoeuf, Cindy Bédard and Marina Orsini.
