The album was recorded on September 28 and 29, 1994, during two sold-out concerts at the Paris Olympia. Among songs from singer's previous French album Dion chante Plamondon, Dion performed also "Calling You," (Academy Award nominated song from Bagdad Café), "Quand on n'a que l'amour" (originally by Jacques Brel), and a medley of songs from the Starmania musical, including two songs unavailable on Dion previous releases: "Quand on arrive en ville" and "Naziland, ce soir on danse" (full English version of that song called "Tonight We Dance (Extravagance!)" was recorded by Dion and included on the Tycoon compilation in 1992).
Although À l'Olympia was unavailable in most important music markets (United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia), the B-sides of singles released there in 1995 and 1996 included tracks from that album.
The video with this concert was never released.
"Quand on n'a que l'amour," "Elle" and "Medley Starmania" were included on Dion's 2005 French compilation On ne change pas.
Shows at the Olympia were a part of The Colour of My Love Tour.
The album sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide, including 1 million in Europe. It was certified platinum in France and Canada, peaking at numbers 10 and 31 respectively. À l'Olympia reached number 19 in Belgium Wallonia.
