  • Merci Frederic,

    I discovered your blog today and subscribed to your spotify station, in fact I’m listening to it right now. I created my own playlist about two months ago when I started my journey to learn the French language.

    Merci beaucoup,

  • hi…

    My name is Ramya and i came across your website in Benny the polyglot’s blog. I just subscribed yesterday. My question is i tried to listen to the list of 400 french songs in spotify.com…but it says its not available. Could you recommend the songs ( not all 400) but the names of the artists? The reason why its not available is because im from India.

    Also… I do know french but its been so long that i remember a few words and verbs. Is it recommendable to start from the beginner’s level? Using the Beginner’s package?

    Reply

    • Hello Ramya, can you let me know what kind of genre of music do you like? Perhaps I can give you a list of recommendation for you.

      Now concerning the Beginner’s package, are you talking about the French Learning Package?

      I think you can have a look. Check it out the grammar lesson as well. It might be good for you. You can start again from the beginning if it is been a while you did not study French. My guess, you will be able to recall a lot of things just by rechecking again.

  • I dunno why but I am trying to click on the link to the spotify list but the I can’t see the list on spotify. What is the list name? Maybe I can use the name to find it. merci

  • Bonjour, est-ce qu’il y a une autre app ou un autre moyen pour ecouter votre playlist? Spotify est pas dispo pour mon pays (Indonésie). Merci.

  • C’est formidable — merci!

    Je serais ravie de voir plusieurs chansons de Christophe Willem et encore quelques chansons de Corneille. 🙂

  • hi! your work with the playlist is great, i really enjoy the songs! but there is a problem now, the texts of musicxmatch are not avaible on spotify now 🙁 how can we see texts of songs?

    Reply

  • Perhaps you could add some songs by Cassandre, a French pop duo based in Paris. I discovered them last year and I love their music! Wonderful list, thank you Frederic!

  • Merci pour cette belle collection de chansons françaises ! Je voudrais y trouver aussi des chansons de Thomas Fersen ; la version de “Quelque chose de Tennessee” chantée par Eva ; “Sympathique” de Pink Martini ; vos préferences de Georges Moustaki, Serge Reggiani et Yves Duteuil ; “Le parapluie” de Brassens, bien sûr ; Et “Père prodigue” de Georges Chelon; “Petit Pays” de Gaël Faye ; “Je t’aimais, je t’aime et je t’aimerai” et “Samedi soir sur la Terre” de Francis Cabrel…. Ça suffit pour l’instant, mais vous m’avez inspiré !

  • You only had one Cabrel song and none for Jean Michel Caradec, Serge Reggiani, Nicholas Peyrac or Guy Beart. You could have include more Leo Ferre, Jean Ferrat and Maxime Le Forestier.
