Music has changed so much in recent years (the last 30 years). The big stars of the past are all dead now, and their replacements are completely different.

The first version of this song came out in the 1980s and was about the exile of Vietnamese boat people. The new version is interestingly different. (The actual song begins at 3:13.)
the original blurry video...

I love Gold. I like Soprano but profoundly dislike anything like rap, slam etc. Sk it will be interesting to listen to it.

I quite like Hervé, whom I think received the French music award for "best new singer" this year. I think of him as "breathless with a prison haircut."

I was worried that Yseult's clothes would explode off her body like The Hulk.

Angèle remains the top French language singer on this side of the world and this song makes her nationality very clear.

The train doesn't look much like the Thalys, does it?

I didn't stick with the Julien Dore video the whole way through, but the beginning reassured me. I always felt there was something missing in France, an otherwise terrific country, and that was potato chips (crisps to some Anyporters). Starting a few years back we began to find chips/crisps on sale in supermarkets (some with Lionel Messi's photo on the package) but on this trip there seemed to be a wider range of them. Even the Perche now has its own "La chips du Perche." Learned a new word, too--"scrountch" is perfect.

It is not exactly a word but an onomatopoeia, whereas English has the word crunch. The French use the word crunch for only one thing -- a France-England rugby match. (Actually you can also hear the word being used by exercise coaches in France who are big on franglais.)
As for chips, I have always seen them in France, even 50 years ago. They were just not a major item. Now they have skyrocketed as junk food, probably with a little help from latecomer Lays.

French rap is never as violent as some of the American versions.

There are three of these that I did not recognise, but that's just because I have no culture.
