What’s your fav French song ?

[Whatdoyouthinktothis]

Making a playlist x

Meant to add the Habanera (L’amour est un oiseau rebelle) from Bizet’s Carmen

La belle et le bad boy by MC Solaar...

Anyone said 'Comment te dire adieu' yet? Francoise Hardy.

And yes, loads of Les Rita Mitsouko. 🎶

La vie en rose

Nothing can beat it. It's the horn arrangement that makes it.

Mireille Mathieu's version without the brass is nowhere near as good.

I did!
Great singalong song!

Do avoid the Jimmy Somerville version, though! 🥴

Aux Champs-Elysées by the wonderful Pomplamousse (it's on YouTube)

Ohhh... where to start!!

Francoise Hardy - Comment te dire Adieu

Loads by Serge Gainsbourg . I love Ford Mustang with Brigitte Bardot.

Jean Jacques Goldman - Comme Toi (this album was the sound of my French summer in 1982)

and check out Mano Chao

Joe Dassin - L'été Indien

Love love love!

@abracabarbara I came here to mention Manu Chao!

Noir est noir Johnny Hallyday
Comme d'habitude Claude Francois

@SilkSilk I think it sounds like she is voyaging, journeying whilst singing the song. It's very nice to sing along as well!

Yes

Je t’aime mon non plus gainsbourg and Rampling

Oh sorry Birkin not Rampling

Pour Que tu Maime’s encore Celine

The playlist in Les ch ‘tis (welcome to the sticks) is pretty good too

I much prefer her version to @Sintonia's Serge Lama's cover

La chanson des vieux amants - Jacqueline brel

Joe le Taxi. I had the 7 inch single and can sing every word. I don't speak French though 😂

Ughhh jacques brel!

Zaz: Exister, and Je Veux

Francoise Hardy: le premier bonheur du jour (and others of hers already mentioned)

Barbara Pravi: Voila

Francis Cabrel (among others): colchiques dans les pres

L’Oiseau (from Belle et Sebastian) don’t know by who

Serge Gainsbourg - anything! But I like je suis venu te dire que je m’en vai

Great thread!

This!
