M'asseoir sur un banc...




Old photo, old times.... 
The 'Mistral Gagnant' of the song's title referred to a type of sherbet dip in which you would find a paper indicating that you had either got the winning ticket which enabled you to have another 
Mistral Gagnant 'for free' or you had lost out.... 
Renaud wrote this song for his daughter many years ago, and it was voted 'Chanson préférée' of the French in 2015. 

 Produced by Renaud Séchan - Virgin FRANCE 1985



Mistral Gagnant seems to have a bitter-sweet, evocative flavour that never fails to move whoever hears it.
