These are ten of my most favorite movies set in France.
Most of them are french movies, but there are some
american too. If you’re going on a trip to Paris, I’d
recommend you watching either one of those.
They all capture a particular french touch.

In France young generations (like mine), are listening to music that is stuck between the 70’s classy & hippie, and the 80’s electro & glam rock mainly. The contemporary artists surf on that musical flow.

KAVINSKY, Protovision

 
BB BRUNES, Nico Teen Love

 
PLASTISCINES, B*tch

 
AIR, Playground Love

 
BB BRUNES, Perdus cette nuit

 
PLASTISCINES, Comment Faire

 
COEUR DE PIRATE & JULIEN DORE, Pour un infidèle

 
DAFT PUNK, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

 
JUSTICE, Phantom Pt. II

 
The last one is not a french musician, but the song is about Paris so it’s totally relevant to this playlist;

LADYHAWKE, Paris Is Burning

 

I am dedicating this week on my blog, to France.
Everything I will publish from May 4th to May 10th,
will be related to Paris particularly, which is my hometown.
I am flying back there from Los Angeles in about two weeks,
and I was feeling a little blue and excited at the same time,
so I thought I’d share some french things I really like.
 
Hope you’ll enjoy !
