French Lecture
The story
Formed in the lively streets of Paris in 2015, "French Lecture" comprises four passionate musicians: lead vocalist and pianist Jean-Paul, guitarist Louis, bassist Pierre, and drummer Olivier. Their unique name originated from a spontaneous jam session in a French literature class, where they found their shared love for art, history, and music. Combining their individual influences, they created a unique sound that echoes the richness and diversity of their French heritage.
The band gained prominence when they started performing their original compositions in local cafés and art galleries. As word spread, their fan base rapidly expanded, reaching beyond local borders and into the international music scene. Their breakthrough moment came in 2017 when they were invited to perform at the prestigious Paris Jazz Festival. Since then, French Lecture has been captivating audiences with their evocative music, charming storytelling, and undeniable charm.
French Lecture's music can be classified as Indie Pop with noticeable Jazz influences, coupled with their unique touch of French elegance and sophistication.
Voyage à Montmartre
Verse Cmaj7 Em7 Wander through the cobblestone streets, Dm7 G7 Beneath the shadow of Sacré Coeur, Cmaj7 Em7 Where artists paint and lovers meet, Dm7 G7 Our story begins here. Chorus Fmaj7 G7 Voyage à Montmartre, under the moonlight, Em7 Am7 Laughter and music fill the air, Fmaj7 G7 In this city of love, in the soft night, Em7 A7 You’ll find your story there. Verse Cmaj7 Em7 In quaint cafés, in soft candlelight, Dm7 G7 With wine and poetry to share, Cmaj7 Em7 We dance and sing into the night, Dm7 G7 Lost in romance, without a care. Chorus Fmaj7 G7 Voyage à Montmartre, where dreams take flight, Em7 Am7 And the music is a love affair, Fmaj7 G7 In this city of art, in the starlight, Em7 A7 You'll find your heart there.

My name is Isabelle, a die-hard fan of French Lecture. What I love about them is how their music brings me back to the enchanting streets of Paris, a city that's close to my heart. Every lyric they sing paints a beautiful picture of love, art, and culture. They’re not just a band for me; they're a poetic and musical voyage that takes me back to the charming corners of France, a place I hold dear.
