Story Behind The Song
In the summer of 2018, we were on our way to a summer workshop in the south of France. It was very hot in the car, the air conditioning was no longer working and after 12 hours on the road, we were in the French Jura looking for a place to spend the night, preferably somewhere near the water. A passer-by showed us the way to Port-Lesney, the village on the banks of the Loue. The fresh and sweet water of the river, a delicious meal in a restaurant, the poetry of the evening sun... after this hard day on the road, the words of this new song came out of our pen in no time.

Lyrics
Port-Lesney
Music & lyrics: Jean-Paul Steenmans (P. Boness - SABAM AII15499)
Des gens qui se promènent
Notre voiture qui veut qu'on traine
Des jours plutôt bohème
Deux amoureux, qui s'aiment
Un restaurant, truite à la crème
Du vin blanc, le soleil qui se mêle
C'était l'été, un bel été, à Port-Lesney
L'eau fraîche, comme sa coule
Sous le pont, tout doucement,
Rafraîchissant, lentement, c'est amusant
Les enfants, en été, à Port-Lesney
La nature en liberté
Nous laisse le temps de se baigner
Les sons de la vallée nous amène
A écrire ce poème
Un jour, un bel été, à Port Lesney
