The D'eux Tour is the sixth concert tour by Celine Dion. The tour was organized to support the highly successful French language album D'eux.[1][2]

History

After 5 concerts in Quebec City, Canada, Celine toured Europe for 4 month. Celine crossed 11 countries and gave 42 sold out concerts, among which 9 in Paris, France, most in rooms of at least 14,000 seats.
