50+ songs, 200+ pages.

In this book we’ve gathered over 50 of France’s best-loved traditional children’s songs, presented in their original French language and with translations into English. Many have commentary sent to us by our correspondents who are immersed in the traditions and culture of France.

This book includes:

French songs, rhymes, and carols
Each in the original language and with translations into English
Commentary from ordinary people about what the songs have meant to their lives
Web links to recordings and sheet music
Illustrations

You’ll find well-known songs like Frère Jacques, Alouette and Au claire de la lune, alongside many you may never have heard of.

These songs are still sung today, but many hark back to France’s rich history. A time when church bells were still used to tell the time, as in Frère Jacques. A romantic time when knights roamed the land looking for love, as in Compagnons de la Marjolaine.

If you’re not a native you’ll have a chance to learn the songs that every French child knows and loves.

At the end of each item in this book, there’s a web address to an online version of the song or rhyme. There we are often able to include sheet music, recordings and videos of performances.
