She went to get a cup (no ice cream) at Dessange, place Bouillaud.
Then fell under the spell of the works of the Angoumois painter Melain Nzindou, installed rue des Trois Notre-Dame. “She was sensitive to my work and bought one of my paintings entitled A Semblance of Order in Disorder”, smiles the artist. Who explains that Lio was very benevolent with him. “She told me that my work deserves to be known beyond the Charente”.
The singer Lio and the Charente: the link is not new. We remember that more than ten years ago, we had already passed her in the streets of Angoulême. In 1993, the ex-girlfriend of Alexis Tikovoi had acquired a property in Vitrac-Saint-Vincent where she had settled for a few years.
The house had been sold at auction at the end of 1999 and acquired by the municipality in 2000. Lio returned regularly to Charente to lead theater courses at the Maison du Codien in Alloue.
