History

The tour started in La Sarre, Quebec in January 1985. In a little over two months, Dion gave 36 performances in 25 cities in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick.[1] The tour ended with 3 sold out concerts at the Place des Arts in Montreal, between May 31 and June 2, 1985.[2]

The set list did not include any songs from C'est pour toi as the album wasn't released yet. She sang several songs in English, though she did not speak that language at that time. During the TV special in September 1985, Dion performed all songs from C'est pour toi.[3][4]
