Discover a selection of the most iconic French albums of their era.
Bernard Lavilliers - Nuit d'amour - 1981: 8th album on which the artist explores avenues that would lead him to reggae and a still powerful rock, but with production that was resolutely avant-garde for its time.
Gerald De Palmas - Marcher dans le sable - 2000: Surrounded by French Pop heavyweights like Jean-Jacques Goldman and Calogero, he would create the album that cemented his status as one of the most important singer-songwriters of his generation. Find hits such as 'Regarde-moi Bien En Face', 'Une Seule Vie' and the now classic 'J'en Rêve Encore'.
Eddy Mitchell - Rio Grande - 1993: The last living legend of the French music scene, Eddy Mitchell. Rio Grande is his 28th studio album and continues to pay homage to the American influences that have accompanied the artist throughout his career.

Maxime Le Forestier - Mon Frère - 1972: Maxime Le Forestier's debut album when the young singer-songwriter was only 23 years old. Success quickly followed, and the tracks 'Mon Frère', 'Parachutiste' and especially 'San Francisco' became cult classics, embodying an entire generation.
