Chants et contes de Noël (English: "Christmas songs and tales") is the fifth French-language studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released in Quebec, Canada on 3 December 1983. It is also her second Christmas album.[1]
Content
[edit]Chants et contes de Noël includes three songs ("Promenade en traîneau", "Joyeux Noël" and "Glory Alleluia") from Dion's first Christmas release Céline Dion chante Noël (1981). It also includes a number of tracks with storytelling and holiday skit elements. The album was promoted by "Un enfant", originally by Jacques Brel.[2] "Un enfant" is also featured in Dion's 1984 compilation, Les plus grands succès de Céline Dion.
The album includes also "À quatre pas d'ici", an adaptation of Bucks Fizz's UK number-one hit "The Land of Make Believe" and a B-side of "Un enfant" single. Authors of that song wrote for Dion hits like "Think Twice" and "Call the Man" many years later.
Commercial performance
