“Tant qu’à répéter “je t’aime” sur le vélin d’Angoulême

Pourquoi pas prendre un couteau et directement écrire ?

On en voit qui font bien pire sur l’écorce d’un bouleau.”

Excerpt from Les Feuilles by Maxime Le Forestier

From Maxime Le Forestier’s fifth album, Les Feuilles is a song about deforestation and environmental waste. Well before the time, the young singer recommends to the “good man” who blackens leaves to attack directly the trees.

The artist evokes in particular the vellum of Angouleme. The city of Charente was indeed a reference in the world of paper, with an influential paper industry. Today, most of the businesses have closed, including one of the most famous, Le Nil. It is in these premises that the paper museum is located. Among other relics of the city’s industrial past is a roll of vellum, the first type of paper industrially manufactured in France. Conceived as early as 1780, vellum was sung by Maxime Le Forestier almost two centuries later.

Les Feuilles is the eighth song of the album Maxime Le Forestier no 5.
