Les Fatals Picards in Forges-les-Eaux

Les Fatals Picards are a French comedy-rock band formed in 1996. Their songs pair guitar-driven rock and chanson with satire, wordplay and character sketches; they are known for “L’Amour à la française,” France’s entry in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest, as well as “Mon père était tellement de gauche” and the album Pamplemousse mécanique. In 2007, the band performed “L’Amour à la française” in the Eurovision final at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki. Les Fatals Picards subsequently toured French theatres and festivals, marking their 20th anniversary with a 2016 concert at the Olympia in Paris.
