Du soleil au cœur () is the first album by Canadian singer Celine Dion released in France. Issued on 20 September 1983 through Pathé‑Marconi, the compilation introduced French audiences to Dion's early recordings by drawing from her Canadian studio albums Tellement j'ai d'amour... (1982) and Les chemins de ma maison (1983). It also includes one new track, "À quatre pas d'ici", a French adaptation of the UK number‑one single "The Land of Make Believe" by Bucks Fizz.
Background and conception Du soleil au cœur compiles tracks previously released on Dion's Canadian albums Tellement j'ai d'amour... and Les chemins de ma maison. Its release followed the success of "D'amour ou d'amitié", which reached number five in France and earned a gold certification, making Dion the first Canadian artist to receive this recognition in the country. The compilation was issued to present Dion's early work to a wider French audience and reflects her growing collaboration with lyricist Eddy Marnay. In 2002, the album was reissued on CD by Sony Music with five additional tracks from Dion's early recordings.
Track listing All tracks were produced by Eddy Marnay and Rudi Pascal, except "Le vieux monsieur de la rue Royale", produced by Marnay and René Angélil.
Notes The 2002 CD reissue includes five bonus tracks: "Trois heures vingt", "Benjamin", "La voix du bon Dieu", "Trop jeune à dix-sept ans", and "Paul et Virginie".
