[edit] Song information

It was the third and last single from D'eux album, released in France in January 1996. "Le Ballet" was a radio single only.

"Le Ballet" is a bluesy groove song, with percussive finger snaps, harmonica and electric guitar that shows Dion singing blues for first time. The song is a example of D'eux style that was influenced by continental pop, folk music, jazz and '70s soul. Written and produced by Jean-Jacques Goldman this track is considered a example of Goldman's handling of mature topics and feelings and is known for Dion's imitations of instruments. Starting in her D'eux Tour in 1995, and featured on the Live à Paris album, she used an extended version of this song to introduce all her band members.

There was no video for the song made.

"Le Ballet" was included as the B-side of "Falling into You" single, released next later.

It was featured on Céline's greatest hits compilation On Ne Change Pas in 2005. Live version was a part of her Live à Paris album (1996).
