Top 16 songs that reference a place

Here are my top 16 songs that reference a country, a city, a neighborhood or a region!

1. La Bohème, Charles Aznavour – 1965. It nostalgically recounts the youth spent in Montmartre by a painter.

2. Algiers, Jean Leloup – 1989

3. In the Port of Amsterdam, Jacques Brel – 1964

4. I'll come back to Montreal, Robert Charlebois – 1976. A little less exotic, but so beautiful!

5. Liverpool, Renée Martel – 1967

6. Memphis USA, Johnny Hallyday – 1975

7. My Brittany When It Rains, Jean-Michel Caradec – 1977

8. I'm Going to London, Renée Martel – 1968. Great success for the Quebecer who tells the story of a young woman, full of hope, who is preparing to leave everything behind to go and make films in London.

9. Hotel California, The Eagles – 1973.

10. Les Champs Elysées, Jos Dassin – 1968

11. Viva Las Vegas, Elvis – 1964

12. I still remember, Claude Dubois – 1992. This moving song refers to a poor neighborhood in the city of Montreal, where a little boy (no doubt Mr. Dubois!) grew up.

13. It is five o'clock, Paris is waking up, Jacques Dutronc – 1968.

14. Greetings from Fort-de-France, La compagnie Créole – 1984. This song, which we hear more often than we should on the radio, stays in our heads for a good part of the holiday season!

15. Casablanca, Alain Souchon – 1983

16. New York, New York, Frank Sinatra – 1979. A must-see, one that comes to mind when visiting the Big Apple!

Enjoy listening!
