Gauvain Sers turns Paris into a personal playground in Les Toits de Paris. He arrives in the capital with nothing but his guitar, squeezes into a tiny attic room, and quickly discovers that the real masterpiece of the city lies above the grand boulevards. Perched on the rooftops, he trades the hectic streets for a panoramic sea of chimneys, pigeons, and slate tiles lit by the Eiffel Tower’s nightly beam. The skyline becomes his open-air museum, a place to drink, dream, and watch the gray shades of dusk paint the horizon.
The song is both a love letter and an escape hatch. By climbing higher, the narrator shrugs off the daily grind, notices the quiet lives of cats and elderly misfits, and even imagines a neighbor sharing the same sleepless wonder. The rooftops symbolize freedom, creativity, and unexpected intimacy in the heart of a bustling city. In just a few minutes, Sers invites listeners to slow down, look up, and fall in love with Paris from a whole new angle.
