Pacifique was a French group founded in 1988.

It is a trio composed of two brothers, Christophe and Stéphane Despres (musicians), and Cathy Nozeran (singer). After their unsuccessful single "Sur les Ailes des alizés" in 1988, they had their moment of glory with hits such as "Quand tu serres mon corps" and "Sans un remords", respectively #4 in November 1989 (Gold disc), and #15 in August 1990, on the French SNEP Singles Chart (Top 50). Another song, "Another Love in L.A.", ranked #40 in the end of 1990 [Peak positions of Pacifique's singles in French Singles Chart [http://lescharts.com/search.asp?cat=s&search=Pacifique Lescharts.com] (Retrieved February 10, 2008)] [Elia Habib, "Muz hit. tubes", p. 170-171 (ISBN 2-9518832-0-X)] .
