When Antoine met Problems..that's called "Antoine et les Problèmes"


Later Les Problèmes will enjoy career in the early 70's for popular cinema with the name "les Charlots". They were only 4 members and then 3...and stoped in the late 80's. From the mid 2000's,  Gérard and Jean do concerts where they sing the tunes of the "Charlots". 





Antoine is famous from his song "les élucubrations" that started such a little war of songs with Johnny Hallyday. Antoine stoped early to sing and decided to buy a boat " the banana split" to turn the world around. Now he lives still on his boat and sometimes makes exhibition to talk about his saining trips.
