About Playlist
French chanson immediately reminds us Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Serge Gainsbourg... In our minds the Eiffel Tower appears, and we can almost hear the noise of the Parisian cafes and the smell of croissants. But French chanson is so much more than that. Above all, it is the heritage of a culture that has been carried on uninterruptedly for centuries. Surely you may feel like a tourist strolling the streets with this playlist, but listen carefully, because with their “chansons”, the artists featured here tell us stories of their time.
