At the time I did not laugh too much, it did not make me laugh at all, she said. But now I laugh about it. » And Estelle Denis to continue: “At the time I was mostly live! And the France team had just been eliminated and as Raymond was coach, it was not an easy show! That plus the demand… You say that the hour is going to be long. »
