Music has a way of evoking emotions like nothing else. Songs can transport you in time and space, excite or comfort you, or even get you dancing. Here is a list of our top 10 songs about Paris. Whether you are getting ready to stay in one of our amazing apartments or have just returned and want the wonderful memories to linger, these tracks will take you there.
LITTLE FRENCH SONG – CARLA BRUNI
As well as being the former first lady of France, Carla Bruni is also an excellent singer-songwriter. My personal favourite song of hers is “Quelqu’un M’a Dit,” however here I recommend a little ditty called “Little French Song.” Sung in both English and French, it's a great starter to get you in the mood. As the lyrics say, “French songs will take you to Paris.”
LES CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES – JOE DASSIN
This is a song that screams Paris and will stay stuck in your head throughout your vacation. The tour buses in Paris make sure to play this feel-good track on cue. It was number one in the French music charts for 2 weeks in 1969 and I bet it would fare just as well if released today. It was also featured in the Wes Anderson film The Darjeeling Limited.
WHERE DO YOU GO TO (MY LOVELY) – PETER SARSTEDT
This song was also released in 1969 by a British singer-songwriter. It's in English, but is packed full of famous Parisian places and people that it deserves a spot on this list. When you walk along the Boulevard St. Michel I would wager a guess that this song will pop into your head.
UNE NUIT À PARIS – 10CC
I'll admit that this is not a feel-good or romantic song. However, listen to it loud or with headphones and you will find yourself transported to the nightlife of Paris. 10cc’s use of sound effects recorded in Paris were enough to make a French friend of mine feel at home when hearing it for the first time.
I LOVE PARIS – ELLA FITZGERALD
What better song for the most romantic city in the world than a literal love letter to Paris. Even though it was originally written by Cole Porter and sung by many people, it’s Ella Fitzgerald's rendition that we find the most magical. “I love Paris every moment, every moment of the year” – we couldn’t agree more.
