C'était ici is the second live album of French Avant-Garde musician and composer Yann Tiersen.

The album is noteworthy because of the many collaborators appearing in the performances such as the 35-member orchestral group Synaxis, conducted by Guillaume Bourgogne, Claire Pichet, Christine Ott, Christian Quermalet, Marc Sens, Nicolas Stevens, Jean-François Assy, Renaud Lhoest, Olivier Tilkin, Ronan le bars, Les Têtes Raides, Dominique A and Lisa Germano.

On this album, the track entitled "La Noyée" is actually a piece by Serge Gainsbourg featured on the original soundtrack of the 1970 film Le Roman d'un voleur de chevaux, a 1970 film directed by Abraham Polonsky and Fedor Hanzekovic starring Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Jane Birkin, Serge Gainsbourg among many others.

She praised the album for giving equal attention to the different facets of Tiersen's music, including vocal pieces such as the eerie and beautiful "La Rupture," and tracks influenced by French pop, rock, and folk, like "La Terrasse," "Déjà Loin," and "Sur le Fil."

Fares described the album as a comprehensive introduction to Tiersen's work for newcomers and a celebration of his talent for existing fans.
