"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 an 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 an 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 later.

It was featured on Céline Dion's greatest hits compilation On ne change pas in 2005. Live version was a part of her Live à Paris album (1996).
