Jean-Michel Jarre has been awarded the ultimate civic honour in his home country. The synth pioneer was given the insignia of Commander To The Legion Of Honour by Emmanuel Macron earlier this summer, the highest French order of merit, both military and civil – and the star celebrated with a performance in the courtyard of Paris’ Elysée Palace. Jarre said: “After so long apart, it was wonderful to spend a special evening with a real life audience. We shared these good vibes with
everyone around the world via the livestream, and I know we will all be together again soon. It was a night that I will never forget.”
