In 1996, accompanied by her young son, she moved to Paris where she met Christian Loigerot, who became one of her composers.

Almost she was marked by the experience and professionalism of this mentor, she remains under contract with her first producer.

Ségara began to have success with "Je vous aime adieu", the first single from her debut album, Cœur de verre (1996), and the duet "Vivo per lei", performed with Andrea Bocelli.
