Nostalgie Le Mans

Nostalgie Le Mans does one thing and does it well: songs you already know by heart. The playlist spans variété française and international pop from the 1960s through the 1990s, so Serge Gainsbourg and France Gall share space with Dire Straits and ABBA. It's nostalgia in the literal sense. Nothing here tries to be clever or current, and that's precisely the draw for listeners in Le Mans and across the Sarthe. Mornings lean bright and singable, heavy on Michel Sardou and Jean-Jacques Goldman. Evenings drift toward chanson and softer ballads. You won't find much new music. Don't expect deep cuts…
