Tribute

In 1983, the year of his 100th birthday, Eugène Bizeau was invited by journalist Jacques Erwan[2] to meet, during a debate, with the young public of Printemps de Bourges. As a result, the singers Gérard Pierron, Alain Meilland and Michel Grange created the show Les Cent Printemps des poètes during which they performed Bizeau's poems, which they had set to music (Songe creux – Eugène Bizeau/Gérard Pierron and Pacifiste — Eugène Bizeau/Alain Meilland).

In 1986 the Académie Charles-Cros awarded its prize in the heritage category to this record. Eugène Bizeau was 103 years old.
