Football is rubbish.
French heavy metal
I really like listening to music in foreign language.
FWIW I prefer the older Torchlight/Chanson singers to mainstream French pop or more recent Chanson offerings.

@thecolourbox I am fairly rarely in Brum city centre anymore but I shall try to bear that in mind if I am, ta.
names worth following up.
pierpoljak 2 mixes, standard & dubby.
gainsbourg aux armes etcetera, seminal & broke reggae into french mainstream.
& mc solar big back then for a hiphip/reggae crossover.
hope useful to you.
there's a french producer called 'dominique A' & a lot of what he touches has that lush whispered vocals, slack&echoey snare, shimmery guitars feel too it. he may have been involved with them somehow. even if not, he is worth watching out for if you like that sort of sound. it's very late 90s french indie.
there's another guy called yann teirsen (famous for doing the soundtrack to amelie) & he produces a few french indie artists too. more baroque & textured & keyboard-driven that dominique A.
here's another you might like if you like lucie. superlush. & the video is a heart breaker.
@EricTheWeary
hey eric, i remembered another with a reggae/ska offbeat feel you might like. the lead singer has a bit of a troubled past so band broke up after he went to prison, but this was massive in europe, probs around the same time as the manu chao stuff you like.
I may investigate, but buying Autour de Lucie was very out of character for me, I'm basically a hard rock/old school metal person. It's a bit of a mystery to me why I bought that album, I guess I must have read a glowing review or heard a track somehow and liked it.
'je reviens' was their big single that got played on heavy rotation on the black session (the french peel/evening session equiv). i was into broadcast & stereolab at the time & they were shut out here (apart from peel) by the medias fixation with oasis&blur. so they all skipped the channel & did black sessions. some great stuff in the france-inter archives as a result.
unfortunately hard french rock i know nothing of. so can't help there. & what i have heard made my hair uncurl. johnny fucking haliday *shudders*.
