I can\u2019t help but love traversing the French autoroute network<\/u><\/a>, so allow me (if you will) to indulge myself a little and spend the next few moments reminiscing\u00a0about some of my favourite cross-channel musical moments.\u00a0So why not\u00a0grab a quick glass of ros\u00e9, a crusty baguette and a healthy helping of morbier<\/u><\/a> before sitting back and imagining yourself topping up the driver\u2019s tan\u2026<\/p>

1. Nino Ferrer \u2013 La Rua Madureira<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Nino Ferrer<\/u><\/a> was a French-Italian singer who shot to fame in the late sixties on the back of a number of bossa-nova inspired singles. The street in the title can be found in the centre of Rio De Janeiro and the lyrics contain other references to the area which inspired the music itself.<\/p>
