Bonjour! I'm originally from Bradford, Yorkshire but now live in Maidstone, Kent. Used to live in Walmer (about eight miles from Dover) and could see the French coast from my bathroom window.
I've seen Véronique Sanson live around six or seven times (and have met her - she wasn't impressed with my French!) so it's not like I've never seen her or not had the chance to, unlike France Gall, but hope all goes well for her. France has lost too many big names in recent times.
