For those wondering what the show Jeudi, c'est Julien sur Nostalgie will be like, know that the idea for this weekly rendezvous comes from Julien Clerc himself.

The singer of Ma préférence shared with Le Parisien newspaper: "I really love radio. So, I went to the management and told them that if they were willing to give me the opportunity, I would really like to do this simple concept that allows us to tell stories and play music that we love."

During this one-hour show, Julien Clerc will reveal anecdotes about selected songs centered around a theme. Regarding this concept, he stated: "I find it amusing to tell these little stories between the songs because there are things that we have forgotten, that we don't know, or that only I can know!"
