Her music is often autobiographical, specializing in chanson réaliste and torch songs. Her most widely known songs include “La Vie en rose”, “Non, je ne regrette rien”, “Hymne à l’amour”), “Milord”, “La Foule”, “L’Accordéoniste”, and “Padam, padam…”.
Lermitte joined the Piaf show in 2017 after years of singing and acting with numerous roles in musicals, including Starmania as Cristal at the Théâtre Marigny in Paris. She then played the role of the Queen in the play La petite fille aux allumettes, nominated for the Molières.
