Paul-Alain Leclerc, popularly known as Julien Clerc (born 4 October 1947 in Paris) is a French singer. His father was a UNESCO employee and his mother is from Guadeloupe. Many of the chansons he sings were written by Étienne Roda-Gil, a long-time collaborator. His brother, Gérard Leclerc, is a political commentator on France 3. For a time he was involved with French actress Miou-Miou, who in 1978 bore him a daughter, Jeanne Herry. Like her father, Jeanne has pursued a career in show business, albeit as an actress and comedian rather than as a singer. He later married equestrian jumping rider Virginie Couperie. They have two children: Vanille and Barnabé.
