George Brassens.. forever.
A French singer, a songwriter, a poet...
and an anarchist.
... whoose texts I strongly recommend
to any French language lover or student.

Hi ! Sorry for the absence, but these last two months have been nasty! My mother (90) was in hospital for more than three weeks and the post-surgery was hard! My father (94) seemed to be orphan while my mother was out and felt into some kind of depression... The economy is a disaster and the media only bring bad news... The € Euro is rescued every day, only to be known that it needs to be rescued again and again... What else? Well, maybe «Midnight in Paris»... The problem is that the Gil there is a different one... ;)
Ah, Mourir pour des idées... J'en ai les 11 LP en vynil de la collection. Superbe!!
Blogtrotter Two wanders currently around Porto Vecchio and the beaches in the region! Enjoy and have a wonderful week ahead!
Too bad for your parents... that is life's dark side.
Concerning the financial crisis, we really should #occupytheplanet!
Hi G@tto! Thanks for the reply! It's life, but I think that we are never prepared, even when we try to rationalize it... Harsh!
Blogtrotter Two wanders currently around pre-historical Corsica, where it seems all this mess around will be leading us to... ;).
Enjoy and have a wonderful week!
Georges!!
I have the same video in preparation for a post later this week! :-) (I was down visiting Sète, including the little port where this was filmed.)
Exprès ?
Then it's going to be a great post.
Have you ever been in his Florimont spot? I still have to.
