Bon Voyage is Corneille’s heartfelt send-off to a love story that has reached its final stop. Picture him wide-awake at two in the morning, wrestling with memories “in the trenches,” tired of fighting a battle whose purpose he has forgotten. Instead of clinging to nostalgia, he decides to pack his bags—photos included—open his heart, and step into a brighter future.
The chorus feels like a warm hug mixed with a friendly pat on the back. Corneille wishes his former partner bon courage and promises there will be no back-stabbing shots. It is not a sad au revoir but the start of something new for both sides. Scars remain, yet they look “belle quand même,” and by tomorrow morning he knows he will no longer be the same. The song is an empowering anthem of self-rediscovery, forgiveness, and optimism—a reminder that saying “Bon voyage” can be the first step toward somewhere more beautiful.
