Le spectacle des Enfoirés 2026, qui s'achève ce lundi 19 janvier à l'Accor Arena de Paris, prend cette année une dimension événementielle grâce au retour de Florent Pagny. Après quatre ans d'absence, l'artiste revient sur scène pour les Restos du Cœur, un engagement qui coïncide avec sa tournée et son combat contre la maladie.
