Let’s celebrate Bastille Day with some French artists, songs in French or any songs of celebration you like. Here’s some of my favorite French artists. I think I may have done a whole DUAN on these guys previously, definitely some of my favorites in the Gypsy Jazz genre…
and if reggae is more of your thing…
or 80’s Buttrock…
or Hip Hop…
or if Indie Pop is more your thing…
Whatever your pleasure, open up a nice French wine & celebrate Bastille Day or Friday Eve. Enjoy your night.

Les Nubians
Music from two of my favorite French films.
1. Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, 1964), the movie that made Catherine Deneuve famous:
2. The restaurant scene from Jacques Tati’s Playtime (1967):
(The original is obviously in black and white; this is a horrendously colorized clip)
Air – La femme d’argent
@MatthewCrawley beat me to the Michel Legrand, so I’m going with Plastic Bertrand. Although I prefer the version by Elton Motello.
When I want the real authentic Frenchy experience though, I go for Iggy Pop.
Good call, since Monsieur Pop hails from Le Détroit du lac Érié.
Grayson Capps – Paris France
Maurice Chevalier – C’est Magnifique
Not French but it feels like the perfect song for tonight.
I wanna live expensive like Marie Antoinette
Boyfriend – Marie Antoinette
I wish I would have thought of Maurice Chevalier.
Fabienne DelSol – Laisse tomber les filles
Tres French, oui?
