Françoise Hardy is the second studio album of the French popular singer Françoise Hardy, released in October 1963 on LP by French label Disques Vogue (FH 1). She was accompanied by the Marcel Hendrix Orchestra. Like Hardy's previous album, the album was released with no title, except for her name on the cover; as such, album colloquially become known by the title of its most successful song, "Le Premier Bonheur du jour" ("The First Joy of the Day").
"Le premier bonheur du jour" was covered by Brazilian band Os Mutantes on their debut 1968 album, and decades later on the 2014 album Dream a Little Dream by Pink Martini and The von Trapps.
