Le Mur tombé du ciel #3: Barbara

One of Barbara's most well-known songs is 'Nantes', where her runaway father Jacques Serf led a marginal existence and where he died. The first line of the song is 'Il pleut sur Nantes', probably not meant literally but hence the umbrella.* See my other post on La Rue de la Grange au Loup.

*Yes, she meant it literally: it was raining when she arrived in Nantes, as I've just read in her (unfinished but published) book.
