Celine Dion said goodbye to her beloved Paris with 29 suitcases after finishing the first series of concerts of her long-awaited return to the stage. The singer was photographed in front of the “Royal Monceau“ hotel, while employees loaded luggage into a van.
The Canadian star was accompanied by her 15-year-old twins Eddie and Nelson, as well as her little dog Madison. The singer carried the pet in her baggy green coat, and her look was completed with a burgundy bag and large sunglasses. Madison was adopted in early 2026.
The last concert of the first stage took place on Saturday in the “Plenitude Arena” in Nanterre, near Paris. The show lasted about two hours, and nearly 30 songs from the singer's French and English repertoire were performed.

The concerts in Paris are Celine Dion's first major return to regular stage performances after years of health problems. In December 2022, she announced that she was suffering from stiff person syndrome — a rare neurological condition that can cause muscle stiffness and painful spasms.
Dion has postponed and canceled a number of performances due to her condition, including the remaining dates of her “Courage World Tour“. The Paris series was the singer's first opportunity to perform a series of full concerts in front of an audience again.
