A "colorful canvas" is the best way to describe this Episode of "Bonjour Chanson". One moment we find ourselves in the Metro in Paris, the next one we witness a 16 year old teacher in Quebec who kindles the love for learning in her young charges. This is French Culture for English Speakers, never dull, full of surprises, but best of all, you do not need to understand French to enjoy it. Here is what we are offering:
Florent Pagny, (France), Savoir Aimer
Luce Dufault, (Canada), Voir Grand, Droit Devant
Serge Gainsbourg, (France), Le Poinconneur des Lilas
Rose et Noire, (France), A la Folie
Paul Piche, (Canada), La Vie
