Hey guys. So I've always loved French music, but never really listened to much of it. By French music I don't necessarily mean French, though--I mean stuff that sounds stereotypically French. Like, whimsical, smooth, etc. An example of a French artist that kind of fulfills the criteria is Carla Brunni, but she's a little boring.
I like the Triplets of Belleville's soundtrack, for instance, and songs like Peter Sarstedt's Where Are You Going, My Lovely?, even though it isn't French, just screams Paris to me. But this is all in my imaginary view of Paris. If this music has a name, please feel free to inform, but if you know anything that might fit, throw it in here for me.
TLDR: Basically, I'm looking for any music that would fit in Amelie. Accordions and other such fun instruments welcome.

The introduction track to the 12 Monkey's OST is a creepy take on this:

Apparently each song is inspired by a French city;

These live versions are good, but check out the actual studio album, the instruments show a bit better in that recording. I would also suggest checking out his earlier stuff as well, 'Gulag Orkestar' and the other EP's like Lon Gisland have some good songs on them, as well, if you like folky brass ensembles with accordion.
