Versions

A deluxe version of "Près de toi" was released with two new bonus tracks: "By My Side", an adaptation of "Près de moi", "Ton Sourire" ("Your Smile"), and remixes of the original songs. Moreover, this version included a special booklet with lyrics and photos.

The album was also out in a new version in Japan mainly because Lorie was appearing in a commercial for Évian and she had to promote the product so the album was released there with a new cover and a special French/Japanese booklet that included all the songs' lyrics in the two languages. Also, new songs were added: "Dans nos rêves" ("In Our Dreams") which was used in the Évian advertisement, "Forget Me Not", another adaptation of "Près de moi" and "My World", an adaptation of "Toute Seule". In addition, the album is also available on radio cassette.
