He's come a long way from the house in Croissy to the Téo & Téa album.

I don't know...it depend on the steps!

Judging by the photos, the house in Croissy did have a lot of steps.

I ment steps by walking the distance from the house!(how long or short)

Don't know. Never had the pleasure. From the Croissy house to the Téo & Téa album, I would say at least 1234567890 million steps, if I had to guess.

I will then say,Téo & Téa is one step from the house,cause whatever you create and whatever you do you can't run away from your life!

And if a woman really loves a man, how can people he loves be an enemy.
I can tell you I am sure he still loves Charlotte,cause she is a part of his story and the mother to their common child,they will always feel connected even if they remarry!

I feel he lost his way after Waiting For Cousteau musicaly, and everything since Oxygene 7-13 has sounded like a half-hearted attempt to be trendy which I hate. He was THE MAN when he had his wavy mullett and exotic gadgets, his extraordinary concerts and individualistic styling. Now I see an ageing legend trying to act half his age and fit in with a more youthful, musical scene.
I would have liked to have thought he would have grown old happy in that splendid, classy mansion surrounded by those glorious mystical instruments, perfecty preserved in the room that gave birth to intelligent creations like Equinoxe and Rendez-vous.
Actually matt222... As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with you.
Elisabeth... I love your quotes as well!

it was very nice house 
don't know why he sold it but I believe today he has not less comfort to live and work. if one lives in a city it is not huge difference wether to live in a mansion or a flat. absolutely other point is having a mansion somewhere in a calm place. but I think his flat or maybe another house is absolutely suitable for him. at least Jarre can afford himself to live in a house he feels comfortable and as in his home.

I don't worry about Jarre,I am sure he has most all what he likes,and much more than he needs!
Well that can also be a problem..if you own more than three things the things own you!

I third that. Even though I've expressed the same thing before once upon a past
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 4:17 pm
Well I think Jarre had (sure has) a beautiful expensive house,-he had a poor man's flat once long time ago!
He was maybe more happy that time who knows?...
But here we did end up to speak about his music,which shows us all that his music is more interesting to speak about than his home,- then let's wait and listen what kind music the carpenter JMJ can do with his "instrumental hammer"!

It does not matter where JMJ lives, as long as he is happy and his home is his castle to him.

I hope he is happy - some of his music has given me a lifetime of sonic happiness. I just wish he'd make some more of the same, that is music aimed at grown-ups instead of his latest offering which after 1 quick listen started to irritate me like the stuff that comes out of my daughter's bedroom at annoying levels from time to time.
Anyway, thanks for the photo's of the Croissy mansion - just wish we had a better collection of photos of the really fascinating room of the house, that is the studio.
