An amazing CD
I have listened to this CD so much- it is the best Putumayo CD by far. It has the most gorgeous jazzy pop songs from Paris. My kids love it too. We've listened to it on road trips for hours on end because it was so much better than any other CDs. You have to get it!

Smooth Francais'
The wife hasn't taken it out of the CD player yet.
I guess it works.

Exceded My Expectations
I am a college student studying french and got this hoping it would be fun background for study groups. It is most definitely but now I'm listening to it at home and my car just because it is so good. Great album!

A great introduction to the Putumayo series
PARIS is the first compilation in the Putumayo series that I really took a shine to. The first cd in the series I heard was ARABIC GROOVE earlier this year but I was bored with it. It wasn't until the PARIS compilation did I realize how great Putumayo series is.

PARIS is a delightful compilation of Parisian music from the Nouvelle Scene (new scene). When I listen to the cd, I feel like I am sitting outside of a Parisian cafe. The music is very mellow. It is a mix of folk and pop with a French twist. Although I do not understand the French language, I nevertheless love listening to the language the artists sings in. One of my personal favorite songs on the album is "Quelqu'un M'a Dit" by Carla Bruni, the latest wife of France's president. Normally I get turned off when models try to sing (or act) but with Carla she surprised me by showing that she is more than a capable artist. I also enjoyed the songs by Coralie Clement and Aldebert in particular. There is not a single track on the album that I didn't like.

Contemporary Cafe
How fun is this? Contemporary groups doing cafe music in the "apres la guerre" style. Loved this album.
I'm a French-American gal and speak fluent French, but you don't have to to enjoy this CD.
Put it on, have a cafe, and simply pretend you are in Paris.
