Don’t rely on their seaside pseudonym, the duo Saint Michel doesn’t really come from the bay, their true hometown is Versailles. And this cradle of qualified French electronic music, which has already seen Phoenix and Daft Punk grow, seems to bring them good luck!

Philippe Thuillier and Emile Larroche, members of Saint Michel make Versailles proud again with their inspired aural poetry. More tormented souls in search of eternal love…

One of their best tracks “Don’t Bother” is featured on our Kitsuné Parisien 3 compilation so we interviewed them on their Paris favourite places and future plans.

What does Paris represent for you?
P: According to me, it’s like a giant fuel pump.
E: A kind of supply point, like a sailor who returns to his marina.

Paris, in three essential places?
Versailles, our 21st district where we work and where I live (Philippe), the 11th district, where I have always lived (Emile), the 9th district, between Rodier street and Douai street because there’s a lot of music stores, concert halls and the Pizza di Loretta!

The song that describes Paris the best according to you?
“Revoir Paris” by Charles Trenet.

Your favorite track from the two last editions of the Kitsuné Parisien series?
“Those Words” by Kit.

What’s next for you?
Releasing our debut album, going on tour and buying new keyboards!

As an extra bonus, Saint Michel‘s Parisian self-portrait in front of Le Train Bleu at Gare de Lyon.
