Destination 03

Musique & Son

Music and sound

Chanson, accordéon, Debussy's moonlight and Daft Punk's helmets — listen your way into French.

La chanson

The French song

Life in pink

Learn: « Quand il me prend dans ses bras… » — perfect for the present tense.

Don't leave me

Belgian, sung in French — a reminder that la francophonie is bigger than France.

Classical

Moonlight

Impressionism in sound: colour and atmosphere over strict form.

1928

One melody, one crescendo, fifteen minutes of hypnosis.

Today

Dad, where are you?

Catchy beat, devastating lyrics. Great for listening practice.

Call out your what

Witty pop with modern everyday vocabulary.

21 June

France's free street-music festival — now celebrated in 120+ countries.
