France Gall (born Isabelle Geneviève Marie Anne Gall; 9 October 1947) is a popular French yé-yé singer. She was married to, and had a successful singing career in partnership with, the late French singer-songwriter Michel Hamburger (1947–1992), whose stage name was Michel Berger, until his death. The couple had two children.
Gall was born in Paris. Her father was lyricist Robert Gall, and her mother, Cécile Berthier, was the daughter of Paul Berthier, co-founder of Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois. The sole daughter of her family, she had two brothers, Patrice and Claude. In spring 1963, Robert Gall encouraged his daughter to record songs and send the demos to music publisher Denis Bourgeois. That July, she auditioned for Bourgeois at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, after which Bourgeois wanted to sign her immediately. France was subsequently signed to Philips.
At the time, Bourgeois was working for the label as Artistic Director for Serge Gainsbourg and assumed this role for Gall as well. He encouraged her to record four tracks with French jazz musician, arranger and composer Alain Goraguer.
France (French: [fʁɑ̃s]), officially the French Republic (French: République française [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The European part of France, called metropolitan France, extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. France spans 643,801 square kilometres (248,573 sq mi) and has a total population of 66.6 million. It is a unitary semi-presidential republic with the capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. The Constitution of France establishes the state as secular and democratic, with its sovereignty derived from the people.
During the Iron Age, what is now Metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. The Gauls were conquered in 51 BC by the Roman Empire, which held Gaul until 486. The Gallo-Romans faced raids and migration from the Germanic Franks, who dominated the region for hundreds of years, eventually creating the medieval Kingdom of France. France emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages, with its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453) strengthening French state-building and paving the way for a future centralized absolute monarchy. During the Renaissance, France experienced a vast cultural development and established the beginning of a global colonial empire. The 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots).
France is a country in Europe.

Tais cloth is a form of traditional weaving created by the women of East Timor. An essential part of the nation's cultural heritage, tais weavings are used for ceremonial adornment, home decor, and personal apparel. The Catholic Church of East Timor has also adopted the use of tais during its ceremonies. Because of the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, detailed study of the history and importance of the tais began only after 2000.
The tais has been used in East Timor as a unit of exchange, often for livestock or other valuables. In ceremonial use, the tais is usually worn along with feathers, coral, gold and/or silver. Still, the sale of tais has become common only in the last thirty years. Although small-scale commerce of tais is an important source of income for women, however, export is difficult and nearly all sales take place with foreigners. In recent years, the public textile market in the capital Dili has seen an influx of foreign-made weavings, which often look like tais and are sold (and made) more cheaply.
Étais is a commune in the Côte-d'Or department in eastern France.

Silence les grillons
Sur les branches immobiles
Les arbres font des rayons
Et des ombres subtiles
Silence dans la maison
Silence sur la colline
Ces parfums qu'on devine
C'est l'odeur de saison
Mais voilà l'homme
Sous son chapeau de paille
Des taches plein sa blouse
Et sa barbe en bataille
Cézanne peint
Il laisse s'accomplir la magie de ses mains
Cézanne peint
Et il éclaire le monde pour nos yeux qui n'voient rien
Si le bonheur existe
C'est une épreuve d'artiste
Cézanne le sait bien
Vibre la lumière
Chantez les couleurs
Il y met sa vie
Le bruit de son coeur
Et comme un bateau
Porté par sa voile
Doucement le pinceau
Glisse sur la toile
Et voilà l'homme
Qui croise avec ses yeux
Le temps d'un éclair
Le regard des dieux
Cézanne peint
Il laisse s'accomplir le prodige de ses mains
Cézanne peint
Et il éclaire le monde pour nos yeux qui n'voient rien
Si le bonheur existe
C'est une épreuve d'artiste
Cézanne le sait bien
Quand Cézanne peint
Cézanne peint
