Avant que l'ombre... à Bercy (tour)

Avant que l'ombre... à Bercy was Mylène Farmer's 2006 concert tour in support of her sixth studio album, Avant que l'ombre.... It was the fourth tour of the singer. Unlike her previous tours, all 13 concerts took place at Palais Omnisports de Bercy in Paris; "Avant que l'ombre" can therefore be considered as a concert residency rather than a fully fledged tour.

More than 169,000 tickets were sold about a year before the concerts.
