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.^[1]^[2]^[3] 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.^[4]^[5]^[6]

More than 169,000 tickets were sold about a year before the concerts.^[7]
