Capital of fashion, gastronomy and good taste, city of love, city of light... Paris symbolizes a special way of life, an “art de vivre”, the stuff of dreams and fantasies the world over. From the cobbled streets of Montmartre where painters and musicians abound, to the legendary jazz clubs of Saint Germain des Prés, the charming cabarets of Pigalle or the Champs Elysées… It is a cinematographic, radiant and resolutely retro vision of Paris that unfolds in this playlist, to the breathy melancholic rhythm of the accordion and irrepressible swing of gypsy guitars.
