Rechercher une étoile 2007 en tournée

**Rechercher une étoile 2007 en tournée** was a concert tour promoting season 1 of *Rechercher une étoile*.

## Background and development

On 30 November 2007, it was revealed that all 13 contestants selected for *École d'étoiles* in season 1 would do a nationwide concert tour in January of the following year. Each show started between 6:15 and 8:00 in the evening.

## Overview

The show, as well as those from all subsequent tours, was organized into two halves. The first half had the 13 contestants performing a song each in elimination order, with winner Eva Boisselot ending this section. Each performer was introduced by the preceding performer accompanied by a video montage of their time on *Rechercher une étoile*, the exception being the first performer Lucy Gachet, who was introduced by Jean-Luc d'Amboise on video. The solo performances were of songs the performer had previously done on *Rechercher une étoile*. Kadia and Ademar performed their original songs while Lena, Fanny, and Eva performed songs that were in *Épisode d'introduction*.

After the intermission, the second half started with the males and females each performing a group song, with the rest of the show consisted of a series of group numbers with medley of songs that were never performed on the show interspersed with some solo performances, similar to TV specials based on other worldwide reality shows. The runner-up Fanny de Saint-Pierre and the winner Eva Boisselot each had their final solo performance by performing their original songs before the last group songs by all 13 contestants, thus ending the show.
