This 2009 album captures Aubert in his element, offering a more intimate and raw collection of songs than some of his more produced work. It stands as a testament to his enduring songwriting craft.
- "Premières prises" was recorded live in studio, capturing the energy of a live performance with minimal overdubs. The album features a stripped-down acoustic sound, focusing on Aubert's vocals and guitar playing. It was released on March 20, 2009, by Parlophone France.
