"Brassens is a very important and very popular figure for France, we have seen the interest that his work arouses even today after 40 years after his death, as he has marked many generations with his songs and manuscripts and also with his personality."2. “If I saw this exhibition, Brassens would be excited and pissed off at the same time. He would surely have a mixture of these feelings. On the one hand, he would be happy because he was very attached to his manuscripts and on the other hand he would be upset because he was against mass consumption products and also against commercial promotion."
