'All Over The World' sounds as fresh as it did when I first heard it in the '60s, and still breaks me up when I play it today. One of the all time greatest pop recordings. Like the song that never ages; from pictures I have seen, Ms Hardy is still as beautiful as ever. Thanks for the song that marked an important moment in my life.

Francoise, you are so beautiful. I heard you at the first time in my life when I was a girl of 13 and I was lost.

Martin (from Argentina) visited on Friday, October 7, 2005 and said: -
Hi, I started listening to french music when I started to learn french language. So Francoise came to me; she and Gainsbourg, Briggite Bardot, Silvie Vartan, Jane Birkin, etc. But now I am looking for new french rock music. If there is anybody there that know about all-times rock artists, please let me know... all I need so a few names to keep going with my personal searching.
Au revoir... Martín

David O (from Sweden) visited on Thursday, September 22, 2005 and said: -
I've become absolutely obsessed with Francoises voice and the groove from the song "Comment Te Dire Adieu". I wonder if someone could direct me to other songs of her in that style (jazzy, cool, melancholic). I gather that Serge Gainsbourg wrote the song and I would like to start a voyage into this style of music, preferrably french. Do anyone of you know of good playlists to guide me?
If anyone has any links, tips or other info don't hesitate to e-mail me on the above address (remove the N_O_S_P_A_M part first...)
By the way, I big thanks to Warren Gilbert for this magnificient site!
Cheers, David

I have always loved Francois Hardy. When I was younger my mum used to sing 'Bonjour, Bonsoir' as a lullaby. So I can truthfully say that in all the 16 years of my life, I have been a fan. Her voice is so- soothing.

Elena (from Reggio Emilia,Italy) visited on Sunday, August 28, 2005 and said: -
Ciao! Ho tredici anni,sono italiana e sono una grande fan di Françoise Hardy. Non credo ci sia un'altra cantante cosi fantastica, carina, sensibile e profonda nella storia della musica leggera! I testi delle sue canzoni sono stupendi e capaci di toccare le corde dei sentimenti: talvolta duri, ma con molta tenerezza, sempre. E difficile dire quale sia la mia canzone preferita, perchè sono tutte dolcissime, ma credo che "L'amitie" sia quella che mi ha colpito di più per la sua profondità sebbene credo ci sia una leggera tristezza di fondo, come in "Message personnel" che invece ritengo sia quella che meglio mi rifletta. Adoro gli anni '60 e '70 e forse una ragione è proprio lei, the best. Ma parlando d'altro, anche io come Roberto da Milano (che ha visitato il sito nel novembre del '04) sono dispiaciuta che nel CD della colonna sonora del film "Se devo essere sincera" ("If I have to be honest") siano completamente assenti le 6 canzoni Françoise. In merito a ciò ho sentito qualcosa riguardo l'uscita di un CD con tutte le sue canzoni in italiano per questo ottobre, è vera la notizia? Infine vorrei ringraziare Françoise Hardy in persona per le parole stupende che ha scritto, le quali (sebbene lei stessa ha detto che oggi non sono comprese e forse non ha torto) continuano a far sognare tante persone e giovani, come me. Best wishes for the future
P.S.Sono felice che esista questo sito e che "Tout les garçons et les filles" fan di Françoise siano davvero "all over the world"!

Françoise is from the very beginning 1962 always with me as a close friend to the very latest cd - tant de belles choses. But there are songs which I can't find - chanson de la sorciere, yeux d'enfant, a cloche pied a travers, as so many other fans I would like to see all clips she has made and tv sessions reissue. she is a great artist and I would like to meet her one day just to thank her. Thank you

Salvatore de Marino (from Napoli, Italia) visited on Friday, July 22, 2005 and said: -
Ciao a tutti gli amici di Francoise, su ebay sto comprando di tutto che riguarda "notre amie", anche perche'non vedo chi, fra i suoi "imitatori" (Carla Bruni: ma chi è?), possa minimamente competere nel suo stile a dir poco UNICO. Ho più di 55 anni e avevo gia' dei suoi vecchi vinili, ma con i cd da ascoltare continuamente e con gli altri "items" da collezione è come rivivere un altra giovinezza (e questo non è il solito nostalgico che rimpiange i tempi passati...): MA JEUNESSE FOUT L' CAMP è semplicemente una delle più belle canzoni di sempre, e non solo di F.H. Grazie Francoise, per aver fatto questo "mestiere" altrimenti non avremmo avuto la tua dolcezza e le tue romantiche liriche. Saluti a chi condivide com me cio' che ho scritto, e agli altri... beh lasciamo perdere! Salvatore
Philip Bates (from Highlands of Scotland) visited on Sunday, July 17, 2005 and said: -
I am working nightshift tonight and in the peace and the quiet I started thinking about life in general when for no apparent reason the music for All Over the World came into my head. This song came out the same time as I started going out with the girl who became my wife and has remained so ever since. It became 'our' song. Sadly I haven't heard it played for many years, perhaps I can pick up a copy somewhere. Francoise, thank you for a beautiful song sung so beautifully also thank you for the memories that became attached to it.
Take care
John Arild Stubberud (from Oslo, Norway) visited on Monday, July 11, 2005 and said: -
I just need some help in tracing down the truth in Francoise Hardy recording a french version of the Swedish "Livet Går Sin Gång" - English version "Language Of love" recorded by Lena Andersson, (but not interantionally released). I don't seem to find this anywhere, but then again I don't know the French title nor lyrics... Composed by Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus/Stig Anderson (yes, the ABBA boys).
The song was written in 1971 and possibly released late that year or in early '72 by Lena, so I assume Francoise's version is made after that.
Anyone who knows?

Nono avrei mai pensato che a più di cinquanta anni sarei stato spinto da una irrefrenabile voglia di far arrivare a qualcuno i miei ringraziamenti per un disco. "Tant de belles choses" è un autentico capolavoro e da più di due mesi che l'ho scoperto non riesco a staccarmene. Madame nel vostro modo di interpretare le canzoni c'è qualcosa che mette in comunicazione con il profondo, con "l'anima". Sentire Françoise Hardy è dimenticare la noia, sublimare la malinconia, superare il male di vivere. Merci beaucoup.

Bouna notte
Ho scoperto Francoise da poco e sono rimasto affascinato da lei, in particolare dalla sua voce. Trovo le sue canzoni, ma anche la canzone francese in generale, una grande alternativa alle canzoni anglo-americane che ci passano in radio tutti i santi giorni. Forse sto dicendo banalità ma per me che ho 23 anni scoprire una cantante come lei, brava ma soprattutto dolcissima, è stata una grande boccata d'aria.
Grazie Francoise

Hello, congratulations on a wonderful site. It's an incredible resource for Francoise fans.
I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with. I have an mp3 copy of 'Les Jeux Interdits' labelled as Marie Laforet & Francoise Hardy. Do you know if they ever performed this song as a duet? I thought it might be mis-labelled, but it does sound like there are two singers on this. Thanks.

Libby Cannon (from Suffolk, Virginia) visited on Sunday, July 3, 2005 and said: -
I had your album with "All Over the World" in 1972. Someone stole the album. So all these years later, I went on an internet search to find the song and download it. Now I listen to it often. It reminds me of an unrequited love for an English gentleman.
Jorge (from Sao Paulo, BRASIL) visited on Saturday, July 2, 2005 and said: -
Dear Françoise,
It is the first time that I write for an artist, sincerely because its musica reaches my soul in a way without equal. Its voice me sensetizes the point of I to want to cry deeply when feeling for the beauty of its Art. I am Plastico Artist and you inhales to me total. The first time that I heard you, I had 8 years (1972-La Question It was part of the track of a novel) and since never more I forgot you. You are of those people who make the others to feel that so for them to exist was valid to have been born. You are Pretty, Kisses
It forgives the English

Warren,
What a delight is is to visit this web-site again and go to the "music" page... and find Francoise's first album's songs there... while Francoise has evolved through the years... to my own musical "sensibilities" this early period is the "sound" I most enjoy. Francoise brings such a "joy of life" and "feel" to each song!... ahh... it makes one wish that he was young again... or at least "younger"... but youth is an elusive reality... and yet it is perennial... it is a thought... a scent... a sound... and a song sung by Francoise Hardy!
Thanks again for the marvelous magical web-site devoted to a marvelous magical singer/songwriter (girl/woman/author... the list can go on and on... ha!)

I am happy to be be discovering you at this stage of my life! French music is rare in our record stores (even the Great ones!), so I owe the internet and especially the April March little guide to French Music site for revealing you and your music.

I just saw Francoise in the movie Grand Prix, which I had purchased because I remembered it so fondly from when I was a boy in the sixties. She looked so great I had to find out more about her. I had no idea she was a singer. How cool.

Je viens de voir Françoise Hardy sur TF3 avec "Tant de belles choses" qu'elle a dites... C'était une retrouvaille avec mon adolescence... et tant d'émotions que j'en ai eu les larmes aux yeux. J'avoue qu'elle était mon "idole" à cette époque et c'est beau de voir qu'elle reste toujours intègre et vraie. Mais qu'elle ne sous-estime pas sa voix, la douceur de son timbre n'a pas changé. Il est le reflet-même de sa personalité. Elle est un tout. Dommage qu'on ne la voit pas plus à la tv. A quand une petite tournée?

Colin (from Edinburgh) visited on Sunday, May 1, 2005 and said: -
It is such a shame that Francoise will not perform live again. I guess that, like most males who were young adults in the 60's, I was passionately in love with her. I memorised some of her songs (although I hardly speak French at all) and the fixation never really went! Well, you know what they say about first love...
Anyway, keep up the good work

John Free (from Sydney, Australia) visited on Sunday, April 24, 2005 and said: -
It is so hard to find Francoise's albums here in Sydney, especially the more recent titles. I still have my vinyl from the 60s but only found a Vogue "best of" compilation recently in a second-hand CD shop. Then - voila! - a new shop has opened locally with lots of Francoise. Instant wallet casualty! I especially love "Gin Tonic" - very funky! I'm on the lookout for "Le Danger" after viewing the wonderful clips on Francoise's official site. This is STILL the best site on the net and I've introduced it to many friends who (used to) ask "Francoise who?" Well done, Warren!

Hi Warren,
I don't know if you want your site to be used for this kind of requests. If not, don't publish it, I'll understand.
My request is: Last thursday, the 21th, there was a big show on France 2 with Francoise, Benjamin Biolay and others, Trafic music. Can anyone deliver me a video or DVD of that show? Of course I'm ready to pay for it.
Best regards, Dick

Publication of 3rd album of FRANÇOIZ BREUT : UNE SAISON VOLÉE, with 4 mini-books illustrating each one a song, including one created in 1963 by FRANÇOISE HARDY : Le premier bonheur du jour. "This song shows all the difference between an insipid and thoughtful folk of the style of Romane SERDA and this woman who selected to show her faults in illustrations or behind a microphone". A beautiful hommage to Françoise.
Frank Shepley (from Bolton, Lancashire, England.) visited on Friday, April 8, 2005 and said: -
Francoise has been my favourite singer ever since I fell in love with the picture of her on the e.p. of the Eurovision entry in 1963, "L'amour s'en va", which my penfriend bought for me. I have never seen her live unfortunately, - maybe one day. In the meantime could you please tell me how I could obtain an up to date signed photo of her - I think that she is as beautiful now as she ever was - I have seen the article about her in this month's Saga magazine and the photo of her in it is lovely. She still has that "je ne sais quoi" that dreams are made of.
Lise Brault (from Montreal, Canada) visited on Tuesday, April 5, 2005 and said: -
As I was checking the web for the release dates of some of my old LPs, I stumbled upon this site and couldn't help reading all those wonderful words of praise about Françoise Hardy, my all-time favourite female singer in the 60s. Since then, I've moved on to Progressive Rock but have kept all of her LPs. I still intend to hold on to them them except three, which I'd be willing to depart with because I prefer her singing in French. They are "Françoise Hardy Sings", "Alone" and "Françoise & Udo", all in relatively good condition as I've practically never played them and kept them well stored. If you're interested, write me a note at electric_marmelade@yahoo.com (obviously, I can only give them to the first person who writes).
Also, in answer to Mr. Omer Wattier from Belgium who, last January, enquired about his wife's astrological sign: M. Wattier, votre femme est définitivement née sous le signe du Sagittaire. En 1932, le Soleil n'est passé au Capricorne que très tard dans la journée du 22 décembre. (I don't know if this has anything to do with my being born on January 17, like Françoise, but I've been dabbling in astrology for several years - perhaps the blood runs in the Capricorn family... :-) Cheers to you all and keep the romantic flame alive.

Bonjour Mme Hardy (j'espère que vous lisez vous-mêmes ces messages!),
Je n'avais pas eu la chance ne serait-ce que de vous voir auparavant! Je vous ai entendu mainte et mainte fois et si je pouvais être né Français pendant votre époque je vous draguerais! Sans blague, je tenais à vous que vous êtes une très jolie femme encore aujourd'hui et que votre voix est d'autant plus envoûtante!
La chanson de vous qui me fait le plus vibrer est "Voilà" et je paierais cher pour l'entendre LIVE! Vous devez lire ce genre de commentaire à tous les 2 ou 3 messages mais moi, c'est vrai! (comme les 500 autres avant moi!)
J'entends à rire comme vous le constatez mais il est rare que j'adresse un message à une artiste qui en plus, n'est même pas dans mes rangs! Je vous classe dans une catégorie supérieure aux chanteurs (euses) d'aujourd'hui par votre voix si simple mais si magique et par la musique, que l'on ne retrouve plus de nos jours. Cette harmonie qui nous prend à la gorge tellement les larmes nous tiennent en éveil.
J'ajouterais ceci: Mes trois chansons de vous qui me font le plus craquer dans l'ordre sont "Voilà" (3 fois!), "Peut-être que je t'aime" et "La maison où j'ai grandi"... Je possède ces chansons en MP3 car j'aime bien savoir ce que j'écoute avant d'acheter mais la radio m'a convaincu de l'ensorcèlement que vous me faites et j'entends bien trouver ces albums vinyles bientôt (J'aime les originaux, ma collection ne serait qu'améliorée)! Pendant ce temps, si ces MP3 était des vinyles.. l'aiguille aurait passé au travers tellement elles jouent!
Je ne suis généralement pas fan de chanson française mais là, c'est autre chose et finalement, je vous découvre ce soir en photo... tout en beauté depuis plus de 40 ans! (Toujours aussi jolie)
Au plaisir,
Martin.

Hello Warren! C'est moi qui ai terminé l'année 2004 par un message qui décrit ma passion pour Françoise Hardy, à la fois la femme qu'elle représente et la chanteuse aussi. Depuis la sortie du dernier CD "TANT DE BELLES CHOSES" - le plus bel album depuis "LA QUESTION" et "LE DANGER" - que j'écoute en boucle presque tous les jours,Françoise qui a fait de nombreuses télé en FRANCE, a été récompensée aux dernières victoires de la musique où elle s'est vu remettre le trophée de "L'ARTISTE INTERPRETE FEMININE DE L'ANNEE". D'autre part, son disque qui est sorti en Allemagne le 21 Février est déjà entré dans le TOP 100 Album allemand en position 78. J'espère qu'il en sera de même en Angleterre. Pouvez-vous me dire si le disque a un peu de succès dans votre pays? Françoise est la chanteuse française la plus talentueuse de cette époque: la presse française a été très élogieuse à ce sujet. Françoise Hardy reste éternelle et actuelle.

Robert (from Coxyde-mer du Nord, Belgique) visited on Friday, March 4, 2005 and said: -
J'ai été opérateur de cinéma à Coxyde Belgique pendant les années 1958 à 62.
J'ai vu beaucoup de films de Francoise et aussi hors cette periode la.
Je l'aimais (j'avais alors 25 ans). Je le considérais comme ma fiancée.
Maintenant j'ai 72 ans, et je l'admire d'avantage.

Françoise est nominée pour les victoires de la musique le samedi 5 mars dans la catégorie "artiste interprète féminine de l'année" en compétition avec Keren Ann, Rita Mitsouko, Véronique Sanson.
Croisons les doigts pour qu'elle remporte cette victoire qui serait amplement méritée après 43 ans de carrière dans la chanson et 24 albums à son actif!
Vive Françoise! de tout coeur avec elle!

Cher Warren
Je vous écris pour vous informer que j'ai créé dernièrement "TOTALLY HARDY", un blog entièrement consacrée à Françoise Hardy. L'adresse est: http://totally-hardy.over-blog.com/
J'invite tout le monde à s'y rendre. Sur ce blog je donne les dernières news de Fh, son classement d'album, ses passages télévisés etc...
J'espère que FH remportera les Victoires de la musique dans la catégorie artiste féminine.
See you!

Hi to all, and a special thank you to you Warren. Just had to say how beautiful the new album is. I find that I cannot get some of the songs out of my head. Play it quite a lot at work on small pc loudspeakers. Does tend to annoy some junior engineers in 30's who are not yet educated! Doesn't compare at all with headphones that I am using at this moment. Wonderful! Have been a fan since buying 'All over the world' in the 60's. Had quite a few gap years, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Moody Blues, Leonard Cohen etc. These days, I tend to listen to 'real' music, like Francoise. My wife is very jealous that I adore Francoise (we are both in early 50's). Even my pc at work has two desktop pictures of Francoise, one from 60's and one far more recent.
Oh well, music almost finished, soon time for bed.
Peace, enjoyment and best wishes to all Francoise Hardy fans, wherever you are 'all over the world'.

Mon Dieu, Francoise - tu es belle toujours.
My God, Francoise - you're still beautiful.
We raved over you when I was in school, and I'll be 58 this year. You're an absolute babe!

I would be interested to know if any fans/collectors have copies of Francois taken in Trafalgar Square London in 1965 or 66, printed in Paris Match. Thanks.
Michael Cheah (from Singapore) visited on Wednesday, February 16, 2005 and said: -
I have an LP on the Vogue label, Francoise Hardy In English that has the song Only Friends. As far as I know, it has never appeared on CD. For that matter, there has been no CD compilation with her English version of Only Friends.
Or am I wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

J'adore Françoise Hardy parce qu'elle est pour moi la plus grande chanteuse française.
Je cherche videos dans lesquels elle chante. Si vous en avez,je peux vous acheter une copie.
Merci

Hello Warren!
Pour répondre à Sébastien Malengreaux.
A la fin des années soixante il y avait à la TV française une émission très populaire qui s'appelait DIM DAM DOM réalisée par Daisy de Gallard. Cette émission faisait la chronique de la mode et de tous les arts en général. En 1967, Françoise Hardy était la présentatrice d'une de ces émissions.
Sous le prétexte de porter différents vêtements créés par le couturier André Courrèges, il y avait une petite histoire jouée par FH et J. Dutronc. Nous voyons souvent à la TV des courts extraits de cette émision. Notamment celui où elle chante en italien "la maison où j'ai grandi" allongée dans un fauteuil avec sa guitare et bien sûr celui où elle enregistre en studio avec Dutronc "Har-dy Du-tronc" écrite spécialement et seulement pour cette émission.
Elle résume l'histoire, simple, qui avait été montré en images.
"- J'ai couru par-ci, par là .
- Mais moi aussi j'étais là .
- Pourquoi toujours derrière moi?
- Parce que je pense toujours à toi."
Best regard, Claude-Alain.
(In answer to Sebastien Malengreaux. At the end of the Sixties on French TV there was a very popular programme called DIM INJURY DOM produced by Daisy de Gallard. This programme reviewed fashion and all the arts in general. In 1967, Francoise Hardy was the presenter of one of these programmes.
Under the pretext of wearing various clothing created by the fashion designer Andre Courrèges, there was a little story played by FH and J Dutronc. We often see short extracts of this programme on TV. Notably that where she sings in Italian "la maison où j'ai grandi" stretched out in an armchair with her guitar and of course the one where she is in the studio with Dutronc recording "Har-dy Du-tronc" written especially and only for this programme. She summarizes the simple story, which had been shown in pictures.
"- I ran here and there.
- But I too was there.
- Why always behind me?
- Because I always think of you.")
Sébastien Malengreaux (from Gent, Belgium) visited on Wednesday, February 2, 2005 and said: -
J'ai déjà écrit une fois dans ce livre d'or, et je suis encore toujours aussi passioné par Françoise Hardy. J'ai adoré son nouvel opus, si pure et si touchant à la fois!
J'ai aussi trouvé un autre très beau site où on peut écouter des tas de titres rares, en public etc...: www.fhardy.de puis CD-Sammlung, et au milieu de la page il y a des cd d'une collection personelle en italien, en anglais, live, des duos...
Mais où est-ce qu'on peut trouver des enregistrements live et tous ces titres en anglais? Est-ce qu'il existe des cd d'inédits?
En janvier il y a avait aussi un très beau documentaire sur Françoise Hardy, et là j'ai vu des images d'un duo qu'elle a faite avec Jacques Dutronc que je ne connaissais pas: Har-Dy Du-Tronc. De quand est-ce qu'elle date cette chanson, et est-ce qu'elle existe sur 45t ou 33t (ou encore mieux sur cd)?
Est-ce que tu n'y songerais pas de créer un Forum pour discuter de Françoise Hardy? Je crois que ça aurait un énorme succès! Il y a plein de forums sur Cloclo et Johnny, alors pourquoi pas sur Françoise Hardy?
(I have already written once to this guest book, and I am still just as passionate about Françoise Hardy. I adore her new album, so pure and so touching at the same time! I also found another very beautiful site where one can listen to loads of rare titles, in public etc...: www.fhardy.de then CD-Collections, and in the middle of the page there are CDs from a personal collection in Italian, English, live, duets... But where can I find live recordings and all these English titles? Is there a CD of unreleased songs? In January there was also a very beautiful documentary on Françoise Hardy, and there I saw some pictures of a duet that she made with Jacques Dutronc that I do not know: Har-Dy Du-Tronc. When does this song go back to, and does it exist as a single or LP (or even better on CD)?
Haven't you thought about creating a Forum to discuss Francoise Hardy? I think it would be a great success! There are plenty of forums for Cloclo and Johnny, so why not for Francoise Hardy?)
Hello again Sébastien. I am in full agreement that Tant de belles choses is excellent.
The site www.fhardy.de is run by Rolf Ludwig from Germany. Many of the songs you have discovered there have never been officially released; some have been recorded from TV shows; some from studio recordings that were rejected. As far as I can see, all the English songs featured have, at some time, been released officially.
The song "Har-Dy Du-Tronc" was from a TV show, I don't know exactly when; again, never released in any format.
Yes, I have thought about a forum for Françoise. I really can't see the advantage of a forum over this guest book. It would still have to be moderated - some messages that I receive now are inappropriate for various reasons; I also imagine that there would be far more messages about Cloclo or Johnny than Françoise Hardy. So, until anything changes, I think things will continue as they are for now.

Ciao a tutti! da qualche anno ho scoperto Françoise Hardy grazie al suo più grande fan, Roberto. Lo ringrazio tanto e gli voglio immensamente bene. Le sue canzoni sono fantastiche e la sua voce è senza paragoni. Michela.
(Hello to all! for some years I have discovered Françoise Hardy thanks to her biggest fan, Roberto. I thank him a lot and wish him very well. Her songs are fantastic and her voice is without comparison.)
Hello Michela, and welcome to the world of Françoise Hardy. Roberto and I met in Paris through Pierre, another big fan of Françoise. Please say "hello" to Roberto from me next time you see him.
Helen Barrell (from Birmingham, UK) visited on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 and said: -
Does anyone have the chords to "All Over The World" ("Dans le monde entier") and "Autumn Rendezvous"? If you do, please, please email me! I am in a band, and I'd like to practice my singing by playing these songs, and maybe even one day do cover versions of them. :)
Hi Helen. I have the sheet music for All over the world and Rendez-vous d'automne if you are interested in seeing a copy.
Le Van Chu (from Vancouver, Canada) visited on Monday, January 24, 2005 and said: -
Hello, I am Canadian from Vancouver and I must say I love Francoise Hardy a lot. I am originally from Saigon, Vietnam and back in the 70s, many songs of Francoise Hardy were sung by the local singers both in French and in Vietnamese. Back then, Francoise and many other French singers like Sylvie Vartan, Christophe, Dalida... had a great influence in the Vietnamese POP music. Even now, le temps de l'amour, Tous les garcons... Mon amie la rose... are still very popular... I would love to see Francoise Hardy tour in Vietnam or at least in Saigon. Jane Birkin and many other French singers have done... If she ever does, I surely will not miss that show.
Merci Francoise!
Fan,Le Van Chu
Hello Le Van Chu, and thank you for your message. Yes, I have heard some of Françoise's songs sung by Vietnamese singers - fascinating! Sadly, you will not be seeing Françoise tour in Vietnam or anywhere else. Her last solo performance was in the late 1960s, and she now concentrates on song-writing and recording in the studio.
Richard Raby (from UK) visited on Sunday, January 23, 2005 and said: -
Francoise's album Francoise Hardy sings in English, was one of the few pleasures I and my sisters had as children, we came from a very poor family, but listening and dancing to that album helped us to forget our worries. Unfortunately we played the record so much, and as children we didn't really look after it properly, it's now unplayable. Of course, I've bought all the compilations I can find, but I wish somebody could let me know if they have a copy, preferably on CD that I might buy. Thanks, and to anybody who was involved in creating those beautiful songs, who might be reading this, I can't really express how much pleasure your work has given me, but Thank you!
Hello Richard. Thank you for your message. My copy of this album was well played too, and became very worn. All the songs from the album were released on CD in France and South Africa in 1988, but the CD is almost impossible to find now.
Joana (from Canada) visited on Saturday, January 22, 2005 and said: -
Hi, How you doing? I'm looking for a song called "quelle est belle cette nuit". Can you help me?
Hi Joana. You have probably found it by now, but in case not, "Qu'elle est belle cette nuit" is sung by Patricia Carli.
Franco (from Firenze, Italia) visited on Monday, January 17, 2005 and said: -
Questo sito è bellissimo, non credevo che i fans di FH fossero tanti e sparsi così per tutto il mondo nel vero senso della parola, dalla Corea al Cile, dagli USA al Sudafrica: in fondo siamo come una piccola-grande famiglia... Oggi voglio solo fare gli auguri (di tutto cuore) a Francoise che compie gli anni ma tornerò presto per parlare di dischi, di canzoni (molte ne ho e alcune le cerco): spero che qualcuno degli hardynauti mi potrà aiutare a completare la mia collezione... ciao
(This site is beautiful, I did not believe that the fans of FH were so many and widespread, so in the true sense of the phrase, all over the world, from Korea to Chile, the USA to South Africa: in the end, we are like one small-large family... Today I only want to wish (with all my heart) a happy birthday to Francoise but I will return soon in to speak about records, about songs (many I have and others I am still looking for): I hope that one of the Hardynauts will be able to help me to complete my collection... Bye.)
Hello Franco, and thank you for your message and your comments on the site. It always surprises me how widespread Françoise's fans are.
Good luck in completing your collection.
HP (from UK) visited on Saturday, January 15, 2005 and said: -
I have always been mesmerized by Francoise's song "All over the world" with her wonderful and mellow voice. Of course I have a copy of it, downloaded from internet (naughty, but I can't find it anywhere else).
Naughty, naughty, HP! You obviously haven't looked hard enough. There are at least 2 CDs still available in UK shops featuring All over the world - one entitled "All over the world" with a purple cover, and another entitled "Les chansons d'amour".
Sue Mann (from Swansea, Pays de Galles) visited on Friday, January 14, 2005 and said: -
Salut
Est-ce que Francoise H écrit ou chante toujours?
S'il y aura un concert je voudrais le savoir.
Sue Mann - auteur/chanteuse et artiste, poète, linguiste et écrivain.
(Hello. Does Françoise H still write or sing? If there will be a concert, I would like to know.
Sue Mann - composer/singer and artist, poet, linguist and writer.)
Hello Sue. Françoise certainly still writes - both songs, and books on astrology. Singing - only in the studio for record production. Unfortunately, Françoise's last concert was towards the end of the 1960s.

Bonjour Mademoiselle,
Bonne Année, et plein de "Belles Choses", continue a nous donnes, c'est Bon.
J'ai offer votre AURA a tout ceux que j'aime, et je vous est ecoute toute une nuit avec le "walkman" de mon fils, c'etait si fort que j'ai decide de ne pas m'offrir votre CD. Les emotions sont si personnel, et vous avais fait en moi tout jaillir. Voila, c'est tout, et je vous aime.
Christel
(Happy New Year, full of beautiful things, continue to give us, it is good. I have offered your aura to everyone that I love, and I listened to you all night on my son's walkman, it was so strong that I decided not to offer your CD. The emotions are so personal, and you made every thing in me light up. So, that's all, and I love you.)
Hello Christel. I guess you are talking here about Tant de belles choses. I'm sure Françoise would be delighted to know that you appreciate her music so much.
Tim Newey (from Tarragona, Spain) visited on Thursday, January 13, 2005 and said: -
I bought my first Francoise Hardy record when I was 12 in 1964 and have never stopped listening to her haunting melodies and wonderful voice ever since. My objective is to buy all her cds... merci, Francoise, pour me faire tant heureux avec ta sublime musique. Le dernier CD est magnifique.
Grosses bises, Tim
Hello Tim. I was 15 in 1964 when I first started listening to Françoise. It's a fine target to own all of her CDs. Certainly all the CD releases of Françoise's original albums is a good idea, but there have been so many compilations over the years, it would be very difficult to find them all now. Have fun trying.

Hello Arthur-Edmond. Thank you for your birthday greetings for Françoise.
Annelies (from Montreal, Canada) visited on Monday, January 10, 2005 and said: -
Great site, beautiful pictures! Françoise was my older sister's "idole", we used to listen to "Le premier bonheur du jour" & "Ton meilleur ami". Back in the sixties, I read Mlle Age Tendre... I became a fan in the 70s when she collaborated with Michel Berger and "MESSAGE PERSONNEL" was a big fav. She was and still is a beautiful woman, very photogenic. Jean-Marie Périer took the best pictures of her. Read Jacques Dutronc's bio (just out). Anyway, love the site. Tks.
Annelies
Hello Annelies. Thank you for your kind comments on the site and your memories of Françoise. There seem to be many of us who were fans in the 60s who are still fans now - all credit to Françoise and the way her music has developed over the years. Agreed, Jean-Marie Périer's photographs were very special, and he was a great influence on Françoise at the time.

Je cherchait votre dernier album mais il n'était pas encore sortie et je suis tombé par "hasard" sur Clair-obscur, je dois vous dire qu'avec ce que j'ai vécu dernièrement cela a répondu a bien des questions qui me hantaient. Merci de m'avoir aidé à trouver.
(I was looking for your last album but it has not been released yet and I found by chance, Clair-obscur, I must tell you that with what I have lived lately that it has answered many questions which haunted me. Thank you for having helped me to find it.)
Hello Bob. Thank you for your message. I'm glad you have enjoyed Clair-obscur and I am sure you will also enjoy Tant de belles choses when it is available in Canada.
Kit Robson (from UK) visited on Sunday, January 2, 2005 and said: -
I am really pleased that I found this site. I think that Francoise Hardy has one of the most evocative voices that I have heard.
I need to know if her albums are available in the UK, in particular the earlier material. My all time favourite number is:- "Comment te dire adieu". Any idea where I can get it from?
Hello Kit. Françoise's albums are not generally available in the UK. A few compilation CDs have been released here, and some of the larger record stores do import her CDs from France. There are Internet sites with good selections of Françoise Hardy CDs - particularly FNAC (www.fnac.com) and Amazon (www.amazon.fr) and they will deliver all over the world. Most of the early albums, including Comment te dire adieu, have been released on CD recently and are still available to buy.
Wattier Omer (from Belgium) visited on Saturday, January 1, 2005 and said: -
Chère Madame,
Tout d'abord, je vous souhaite une heureuse année. Ma femme a septante deux ans et depuis toujours elle ne sais si elle est sagittaire ou capricorne: née un mercredi neuf heure le vingt et un décembre 1932.
Connaissant votre érudition dans la lecture des astres, auriez vous la gentillesse, pendant un de vos temps libre de l'aider a connaître son signe zodiacal.
En espèrent que vous pourrez lui faire ce plaisir, je vous prie chère madame d'agréer mes respects les plus sincères.
PS Votre nouvel album est une petite merveille.
(First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year. My wife is seventy two years old and since always she does not know if she is Sagittarius or Capricorn: born one Wednesday at 9 o'clock December 21st 1932. Knowing your scholarship in the reading of the stars, would you be so kind, during some of your spare time to help her know her zodiacal sign. In hoping that you will be able to do this pleasure for her, I request dear Madame to accept my most sincere regards. PS Your new album is a little marvel.)
Hello Wattier. This site is run by me, a fan of Françoise Hardy, and I am unable to help with your question. I would have thought that there must be many resources on the Internet and elsewhere that could help you.
