Partout ou vous etes Bonjour (Hello wherever you are)

Today it's all about French ART. Music (musique), Movies (films), Paintings (peintures) and Photography (et photographies) , Fashion (mode) and Food Videos (vidéos alimentaires).

Quote ( Blage)
La critique est aisée, mais l'art est difficile. 

Criticism is easy, art is difficult.

Musique:

Serge Gainsbourg et Jane Birkin

Je t'aime is probably themost famous love quote of all as it means love you. It is also thetitle of one of the sexiest songs ever recorded. Even more interesting isthesotry behindthenow famous version by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin which was un succes de scandale when released in 1967.
