Sous le ciel de Paris (song)

"Sous le ciel de Paris" (pronounced [su l(ə) sjɛl də paʁi]) is a song initially written for the 1951 French film Under the Sky of Paris (Sous le ciel de Paris), directed by Julien Duvivier. In the film it was sung by Jean Bretonnière.

In the same year it was also recorded by Juliette Gréco, as well as Anny Gould. Thanks to Gréco and subsequent recordings by artists such as Édith Piaf (1954) and Yves Montand (1964) which popularised it, the song became a symbol of Paris for the world.
