The tour was produced by Garance productions (Laurent Castanié), and directed by Vincent Boussard and Alain Poisson. The general direction was done by Jean-François Meinadier and the technical direction by François Lepaysan. Some European rock critics consider this to be one of the best live albums in the history of French music.
