Do you want to learn more about what the French have been listening to then and now? Here’s a short rundown of some of the most well-known French songs.
1. La Vie En Rose
Artist: Edith Piaf Year Released: 1945 Easily one of the most famous French songs of all time, La vie en rose will always be one of those things that define France. Written by Piaf towards the end of World War 2, it was honored by some as the unofficial French national anthem. This song made Edit Piaf one of the best French singers of all time. It is the quintessential sad but beautiful love song and loved even by those who do not speak French. Over seventy years after its release, La Vie En...
2. Ne me quitte pas
Artist: Jacques Brel Year Released: 1959 Ne me quittepas, considered the ultimate classic by Belgian singer Jacques Brel, was another international hit. It may be another sad love song, but it remains to be one of the popular French classics. Like Edith Piaf’s La Vie En Rose, other well-known singers covered Ne me quitte pas,including Shirley Bassey, Barbara Streisand, Cyndy Lauper, Neil Diamond, Sting, Celine Dion, and Wyclef Jean. Check out the video here. READ MORE : Ne Me Quitte Pas Lyric...
3. Non, je ne regrette rien
Artist: Edith Piaf Year Released: 1960 The French seem to have a penchant for poignant yet beautiful songs, and Edith Piaf’s Non, je ne regrette rienis one of them. Edith Piaf wrote this song when she was 44, and it is comparable to Frank Sinatra’s My Way. A sad yet hopeful song that implies letting go and starting over, it was one of Edith Piaf’s last great hits before her death at the age of 47. Check out the video here.

READ MORE : Alexandrie Alexandra Lyrics in French.
6. Tous les garçons et les filles
Artist: Francoise HardyYear Released: 1987 Released in 1987 and sung by Françoise Hardy, Tous les garçons et les fillesis far from your usual 80s pop love song.

This catchy tune is also one of Françoise Hardy’s signature hits. Check out the video here. READ MORE: Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles Lyrics in French
7. Comme D’Habitude – Claude François
When you listen to Comme d’habitude, the melody of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” will come to mind almost instantly. This timeless ballad was originally performed in French by Claude Francois two years before it became a hit for Frank Sinatra. After hearing the song played on the radio, Paul Anka reworked it into an English version just for Mr. Sinatra. The lyrics of the two songs do not convey the same message. The difference between the English and French versions is that the English one is abou...
8. Les Champs-Elysées – Joe Dassin
This jazz composition by Joe Dassin is a fitting tribute to the historic and picturesque Champs-Élyées. Located in the heart of the city, the boulevard is lined with stores, restaurants, and cafés and is bookended by the iconic Arc de Triomphe and other historical landmarks. Considered one of the best French songs of all time, it will transport you to the streets of Paris, where you may shop till you drop, stop for a cappuccino, and take in the beauty of each new scene. You might find yoursel...

Friends since childhood, Adrien Gallo, Karim Réveillé, and Raphal Delorme came together in the year 2000 to form the band Hangover, which sings only in the English language.

One of the newer French songs to listen to is their number one single, “Afficionado,” i...

11. Cendrillon
Artist: TelephoneYear Released: 1982 Another sad song that also became a French classic was the band Telephone’s tragic take on the Cendrillonfolktale. Far from the fairytale-like and hopeful story that we know, this song is about a beautiful young woman who had a lot of hopes and dreams. As the years went by and beginning at the age of 30, she started losing her dreams. Her husband left, and she looked after the kids all by herself. She became an alcoholic, then a prostitute, and considered...
12. Je t’aime moi non plus
Artist: Serge Gainsbourg et Jane BirkinYear Released: 1969 Known for his provocative lyrics, Serge Gainsbourg is among those that defined French pop music.

Their song, Je t’aime moi non plus, became an instant hit and caused quite a stir due to its raunchy lyrics. It was denounced by the Vatican and banned in the US, but it was also considered a...
13. Le Sud – Nino Ferrer
Many people consider Le Sud to be one of the best French songs ever written.

This song is a tribute to Ferrer and tells the story of his formative years in the South. Initially known as a “comic singer,” the label didn’t stick for long, and Nino was soon ab...
14. Les Lacs Du Connemara – Michel Sardou
Les Lacs du Connemara, one of Sardou’s most popular melodies, is widely considered to be among the best French songs of all time. Lyrics and music work harmoniously together to create a song that is not only enjoyable to listen to but also conveys a strong message. During the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in the Irish area of Connemara, where the Irish War of Independence took place, the poem was penned. Even though the song isn’t specifically about France, its outstanding sympho...
18. Joe Le Taxi – Vanessa Paradis
Joe le Taxi, performed by Vanessa Paradis (who was only fourteen when it was released) is widely considered to be one of the best French songs of all time. Maria José Leo dos Santos, or “Joe,” is the subject of this song.

It’s a lively jazz and blues ballad that developed and has remaine...
19. Nuit de folie

Read More:Alors On Danse Lyrics in French

Mika, a Lebanese-British singer-songwriter and judge on X Factor Italy, wrote and performed the song. His music has become a phenomenon because it always manages to liven up a gathering. The artist also released an English version of the song credited to her pen name, Emily. Lyrically, the first stanza is an accurate representation o...

Artist: Carla BruniYear Released: 2002 Before Carla Bruni became the First Lady of France (as the wife of former French president Nicholas Sarkozy), she was an accomplished modeland singer.
