Youngsters at nudist sites: 'Unready to fully comprehend'

In a shocking turn of events, French singer Patrick Sébastien's performance at a naturist campsite in Cap d'Agde, France, on July 22, 2025, has sparked a significant public controversy.

During the concert, Sébastien performed his popular song Les Sardines. A scene that has since caused widespread debate was filmed where a female spectator appeared to simulate or even perform fellatio on stage, in full view of families with children.

Following the incident, Sébastien, through his lawyer Me Robin Binsard, has vehemently denied that any act took place, insisting the gesture was purely mimed. The lawyer further emphasized that no legal infraction occurred and questioned the presence of children at a naturist event. The campsite management described the incident as an "unpredictable slip."

Eyewitness accounts and the DJ at the event offer differing perspectives. Some affirm that the act seemed real, while the DJ stated he never saw Sébastien expose himself or behave inappropriately.

The incident has ignited a public debate on the limits of artistic performance and appropriateness, especially in a family environment. The controversy remains a topic of discussion, with divided opinions on the reality of the act and Sébastien's responsibility.

Mediapart, a French investigative news organisation, reported that a woman in lingerie joined Sébastien on stage during the concert, and she knelt before him, seemingly performing oral sex. However, Sébastien maintains that he only "mimed" the act.

The incident has caused outrage among families present and many feminists. Some audience members insist that the act was real, while others maintain it was a mere mimed performance. As of now, no official criminal investigation has been reported in these sources.

The Cap d'Agde concert, which featured Sébastien performing Les Sardines, will undoubtedly be remembered for this controversial incident, adding a new chapter to the singer's career.
