In 1994, she met Julien Bassouls, the entrepreneur of "Life, Live in the Bar", a group which arranged concerts for young artists, and went up to Paris in 1995.

In collaboration with other young artists, including Jean-Jacques Nyssen, Clarika and Philippe Bresson, she participated in writing and staging a musical, La Marée d'Inox, played at the Théâtre Jean Vilar in Suresnes in February 1996.

With the singles "Du courage" and "On savait", the album sales exceeded 130,000, allowing her to appear at the Olympia for the first time in her career.

The album was accompanied by a long tour through France and Belgium, passing again through the Olympia and ending at the Zénith de Paris in January 2007.

In March 2008 she began a solo acoustic tour, "Toute seule comme une grande", in France, Belgium and Switzerland.

Also, she participated in Autrement dit, an album of covers of Claude François released March 10, 2008, with the song "Le jouet extraordinaire".

The first single was called "Quelqu'un d'autre", a piece for which a video was also released, a nod to the film Inland Empire by David Lynch.

The tour lasted 15 months and had around a hundred appearances in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, including at the Casino de Paris and at the Olympia in November 2009 where she received a gold record, as well as the Francofolies at La Rochelle, Spa and Montreal.

(La Grand Sophie also received gold discs earlier for Et si c’était moi and La suite…) At the end of 2009, the jury of "Les Sonos tonnent", representing Le Nouvel Observateur, L'Express and Télérama designated the song "Quand le mois d'avril" as one of the best of the year (as well as "Ton Héritage" from Benjamin Biolay).
