In French towns and villages small specialized shops and family hotels are disappearing in a short timespan.
Many shop windows of traditional butchers, bakers, caterers, etc. are empty or even boarded up. The arrival of huge supermarkets and hotel chains is a major cause of this phenomenon and the current crisis only accelerates this unfortunate development.
This also eliminates the social function of small shops as a meeting place and also the craftsmanship often transferred from generation to generation gets lost.

Dans les villes et villages de France les petits commerçants et des hôtels de la famille sont en train de disparaître.
De nombreuses fenêtres de bouchers traditionnels, boulangers, traiteurs, etc. sont vides et parfois même barricadé. L'arrivée des grands supermarchés et les chaînes hôtelières est une cause majeure et la crise actuelle accélère cette évolution regrettable.
Cela élimine également la fonction sociale des petits commerces comme un lieu de rencontre et aussi le savoir-faire souvent hérité de génération à génération se perd.

In Franse steden en dorpen verdwijnen in hoog tempo de kleine winkeliers en hotels.
Veel etalages van ambachtelijke slagers, bakkers, traiteurs etc. zijn leeg en soms zelfs dichtgespijkerd. De komst van de grote supermarkten en hotelketens is een belangrijke oorzaak en de huidige crisis versnelt deze treurige ontwikkeling.
Hiermee verdwijnt ook de sociale functie als ontmoetingsplaats en het ambachtelijke vakmanschap dat vaak van generatie op generatie is overgedragen.

The Valse Musette is the best known type of French Accordion song.
The musette Accordion was especially popular in Paris in the early 20th century and remains to be popular in France ever since. Joseph Colombo worked together with famous accordionists and composers like Gus Viseur and Tony Murena et son ensemble. Joseph Colombo was author of many great musette waltzes, of course including 'Indifférence'. André Verschuren composed various songs that became famous like Style Musette.

Some famous interpreters of the Valse Musette are: Gus Viseur, André Verschuren, Emile Vacher, Albert Hennebel - Dany Moureaux etc.

I am a great admirer of Yann Tiersen (born 23 June 1970). Yann Tiersen is a French musician and composer. His music is recognized by its use of a large variety of instruments in relatively minimalist compositions, often with a touch of either European classical music or French folk music, using primarily the piano, accordion or violin together with instruments like the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, ondes martenot, harpsichord and typewriter. His musical style, particularly when using toy and folk instruments is similar to Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Pascal Comelade, but his more serious work is reminiscent of Frédéric Chopin, Erik Satie, Philip Glass and Michael Nyman. Other famous tunes by Yann Tiersen: La Noyée, Comptine d'un autre été, Rue des Cascades, Le Banquet, a Quai, L laprès midi, La Valse d'Amelie, La Plage, La Dispute.
