"L'amour existe encore" (meaning "Love Still Exists") is a song from Céline Dion's album, called Dion chante Plamondon. It was released as the second (radio only) single in Canada (October 14, 1991) and third commercial single in France (January 17, 1994). Dion recorded also a Spanish version of this song, called "Aún Existe Amor." It was released as a promotional single in the U.S. from her 2002 A New Day Has Come album.

"L'amour existe encore" was released in Canada with no accompanying video. When Sony Music Entertainment decided to issue a commercial single in France, there was a music video made in December 1993. It was directed by Alain Desrochers. The video was featured later on the On ne change pas DVD (2005).

Live version of "L'amour existe encore" can be found on À L'Olympia and Au cœur du stade albums. The song was also a part of Céline Dion's compilation On ne change pas.

"L'amour existe encore" reached #16 on the Quebec Airplay chart and stayed there for 20 weeks. In France, "L'amour existe encore" peaked at #31 (23 weeks on chart).

After Ignacio Ballesteros-Diaz wrote Spanish lyrics, Dion recorded Spanish version of that song, called "Aún Existe Amor." It was featured on her A New Day Has Come album in 2002, and released as a promotional single in the U.S. Dion performed it at the 2002 Billboard Latin Music Awards, where she received a special award for her hit "My Heart Will Go On" which was the first English-language song to top Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks.
