In the book Johnny Hallyday and his guardian angels, Sacha Rhoul, had explained: “She was everything to him: his wife, his friend, his mistress. When things weren't going well with Sylvie, nothing was going well. His whole life, his thing was to win back Sylvie's love. At the time, all the love songs or desperate songs were bottles of the sea, messages for Sylvie”.

In 2019, for Point de vue, it was with emotion that Sylvie Vartan estimated: “Our life has been incredible. I have the impression that no one will be able to relive such moments. It was crazy, intense, overwhelmed, overwhelmed, by the events. Between us, it was burning right away. It was fire, all the time (…) Since he left, I realize that we experienced something exceptional”.
