Diane Tell was made knight of the Order of Arts and Letters of France.
The Quebec singer and musician was decorated Monday during a ceremony at the France residence in Outremont.
On social networks, she thanked the Consul General of France in Montreal, Marie Lapierre, for this “unforgettable” moment.
In a press release released Tuesday, the Order of Arts and Letters described the singer-songwriter as a “true model” and a “source of inspiration for young generations of female artists who wish to pursue their dreams in the music “.
“In an industry dominated by men, she freed herself from male authority to impose her independence on the artistic level,” we emphasize.
Diane Tell has been living in Europe for several years.
