Capri c'est fini

"Capri c'est fini" is the first single of French singer Hervé Vilard. The French song written and sung by him was released on Mercury Records and became a huge French and international hit in the summer of 1965 along with Christophe's hit song Aline, launching Vilard's career and making him instantly famous. The song sold 3.3 million copies. Vilard released 7 language versions of the song. The inspiration came when Vilard saw a promotional travel poster of the Italian island Capri in a Paris Métro station. "C'est fini" comes from a popular song of Charles Aznavour of the same title. The song talks about a break-up of an earlier relationship that had started in Capri.

The Scopitone video was filmed at Château de Chambord and shows its English gardens before they were removed in 1970 and recreated in 2014.
