This production is an invitation to navigate between a selection of her choreographies (La Gavotte et ses doubles, Les Caracth?res de la danse), to discover the repertoire she admired so: ball dances (Pécour'sPassepied, Feuillet's La Patelotte...) as well as theatre dances (Pécour's Le Rigaudon des vaisseaux). 'Francine initiated me to the belle danse; she guided me through my work as a choreographer. Together, we gave dancing lectures and co-signed a number of choreographies. I had the priviledge to be her assistant right from the early stages of Atys and through all its revivals. This event, planned with her in mind, is a humble way to share our dues to this Fair Lady.'; Béatrice Massin, February 2010; TV Director, Marie-Hél?ne Rebois; Recorded on 2011 at the Théâtre Montansier at Versailles (57 min)
