Les Mots bleus (English: Blue Words) is a 1974 album by French singer Christophe based on the ballad of the same name. Along with its groundbreaking predecessor album Les Paradis Perdus it revived the career of Christophe in the 1970s which, had taken a downturn following the initial success of "Aline" in 1965. Jean-Michel Jarre wrote the lyrics for the title track, which has been described as "outstanding" by Billboard magazine. It is considered one of the top albums and songs of French pop music. In 2010, the French edition of Rolling Stone magazine put it at number 45 in its list of the best albums of French rock.
