Famous Songs About Paris

There are innumerable songs about Paris but these are my favorite in no particular order.

They include a mix of Electronic, Pop, Jazz, Folk, and many others. These Paris songs are guaranteed to spark the love, passion, and hope inside you every time you think or listen to them. Pick up your speaker now and let’s jam together.

1. J’ai Deux Amours by Josephine Baker

Released: 1930 | Genre: Dance/Electronic

While the title of this song may leave you wondering if Josephine Baker is torn between two lovers, she’s actually singing about how she is torn between two cities.

On one hand, is the city she resides in and calls home, Manhattan. On the other hand, is Paris, a city she has not been to yet but dreams of visiting. She describes Paris and talks about how it has left her spellbound.

This song embodies the effect Paris has on everyone, and how it leaves one and all mesmerized by everything about it.

It also alludes to the dream most people have of visiting the City of Lights that they have only heard so many things about, at least once in their life.

2. La Vie En Rose by Édith Piaf

Released: 1946 | Genre: Pop

Édith Piaf was a French cabaret singer and was widely regarded as France’s national chanteuse.

This song is probably the most famous among Paris chansons (songs). While, in this song, Édith does not actually talk of Paris, it embodies love hence its association with the City of Love.

It is a slow, romantic, and hopeful rendition in which Édith talks about how we experience love initially through rose-colored glasses, and that’s how we should see the world as well.

She encourages everyone to see the beauty, the positive and exciting side of life, comparing it to the first few moments when you fall in love.

3. I Love Paris by Cole Porter/Ella Fitzgerald

Released: 1953 | Genre: Jazz

I Love Paris is one of the popular songs about Paris. It was first sung by Cole Porter in 1953 followed by other famous personalities like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, among others.

The song describes exactly that, why the singer loves Paris. He talks about how he loves everything about the city, across all seasons – like timeless love.

Whether it be a fair season or an unanticipated season, he loves Paris regardless.

4. Bonjour, Paris! By Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, and Kay Thompson

Released: 1957 | Genre: Jazz

Bonjour, Paris! is a song from the 1957 rom-com musical movie, Funny Face . This song showcases all the popular spots in Paris like Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Petit Palais, Montmartre and even the street, Rue de la Paix which is Paris’ famous shopping street.

Audrey is shown to be someone who has been longing to come to the city to see its sights, among other things.

Her dream eventually comes true when a guy from the cast influences his boss to shoot in Paris.

The picturization of this musical movie scene shows the cast going around the city admiring these places.

5. April in Paris by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

The first rendition/performance of April in Paris was by Freddy Martin in 1933 for the Broadway musical, Walk a Little Faster .

It became such a hit that it was covered by Sauter-Finegan Orchestra in 1952, making it even more successful.

From thereon, multiple jazz singers have covered it including Count Basie in 1955, whose performance was then inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and Ella and Louis two years after that.

The song talks about springtime in Paris and the feelings and visuals associated with it. It is a hopeful song that will transport you to a picturesque scenario.

6. Non, Je ne regrette rien by Édith Piaf

Released: 1960 | Genre: Jazz

This is probably the 2nd most famous song by Édith Piaf, and on this list of the best songs about Paris, after La Vie En Rose .

Like the earlier song by her, the subject of this one too isn’t Paris but, since France’s national idol is singing it, one can connect it to the city and its people.

The song’s title translates to “No, I regret nothing.” It talks about how one should be hopeful, despite the adversities faced.

In good times and bad, you have to have a positive outlook and not regret anything you did or any path that you chose.

7. Les Champs-Elysée by Joe Dassin

Released: 1969 | Genre: Jazz

As the song begins, few truly recognize it but, once it reaches the chorus, everyone sings along.

This song personifies the broadest and most beautiful avenue in Paris, Les Champs-Elysées.

The boulevard is lined with numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops attracting large crowds, thus making it the busiest street in Paris.

The singer celebrates this avenue and talks about the various kinds of people who make their way here.

Today, every year, on Bastille Day (July 14th), France’s national day, the largest military parade goes through this avenue.

Another reason why it’s famous besides housing popular fashion brands is that it’s the final stretch of France’s famous cycling race, the Tour de France.

8. Where Do You Go to (My Lovely) By Peter Sarstedt

Released: 1969 | Genre: Folk

This song has Peter Sarstedt singing to his childhood friend, Marie Claire, who grew up in poverty in Naples.

She now lives in Paris while wining and dining with the rich and famous. He asks her thoughts and feelings when she’s alone, not living a luxurious life.

Thus alluding to the fact that she might not have been as happy and content as she portrayed to the outside world.

Peter, although not French, sings about many French references like Boulevard St. Michel and Sorbonne, and personalities like Picasso, Zizi Jeanmaire, and Sacha Distel.

9. Paris by Faith Hill

Released: 2005 | Genre: Country

When you listen to Paris (which is off the album fireflies), it might seem like a love song, but in actuality, that is far from the truth.

When it was first played for her by the songwriters, Faith Hill also thought it was a love song. They let her believe that for a while.

However, the story goes that the 3 songwriters took a train to Paris from London on Bastille Day.

The anticipated celebratory day (joie de vivre) turned out to be a gruesome one when a fight broke out while the trio was waiting for a cab.

Verges, one of the 3, got knocked out cold with a broken nose and a bloody face.

When he came around, he was in an ambulance being taken to the hospital while his friends didn’t know where he was transported to and had no way of contacting him. Eventually, they returned to London and wrote this song.

10. Crazy Paris by Horny United

Released: 2008 | Genre: Electronic

Like most electronic numbers, Crazy Paris is not big on lyrics and falls short in that department.

There’s no history or story behind this 2008 number. In fact, the singer also has a pretty low social profile. I guess he lets his music do the talking.

The song has a cool head-bobbing tune with alternating segments of catchy beats and lyrics.

The only linkage to Paris is in the name and the recurring occurrence of the word in the minimal lyrics.

11. Paris (Ooh La La) By Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Released: 2010 | Genre: Rock

This rock n’ roll number is a sexy, sassy one in which Grace practically says that she wants to get down and dirty in a lyrical manner.

The chorus is repetitive, but the guitar strums more than make up for it. The song will make you want to crank up the volume and get pumped up like a rock star.

Such is the beat and rhythm of this song that it was covered by numerous people across different talent shows like The Voice and The X Factor.

Pamela Anderson even danced to this number in Dancing with the Stars.

12. La Seine by Vanessa Paradi & M

Released: 2011 | Genre: Pop

La Seine is a chanson taken from an animated movie, Un Monstre à Paris (A Monster in Paris).

In the film, the main character, Lucille, a cabaret singer, performs on stage in a song and dance manner to the tunes of a guitar and an accompanying band.

The guitar-playing character, who eventually sings with Lucille, is the monster referenced in the movie’s title.

While the movie is set in 1910, when the main river that runs through Paris, La Seine, had flooded the streets of Paris and its surrounding towns, the song is an ode to the river itself.

13. Paris by Lana Del Ray

Released: 2012 (leaked) | Genre: Alternative Pop

This 2012 song by Lana Del Ray was actually recorded a year earlier but didn’t make it to her chart-topping 2 nd album, Born to Die. It leaked as a solo but didn’t gain as much fame as the album.

The song talks about how the monotony of life has gotten to her and her significant other.

She feels the answer is for him to take her to Paris, so that’s what she asks him to do.

She then narrates how crazy and wild their life could be there. She also references famous Parisian monuments like Sacré-Cœur and Tour Eiffel, also mentioning Yves Saint Laurent.

14. Paris by Little Dragon

Released: 2012 | Genre: Alternative Indie; Dance/Electronic

Paris by Little Dragon is a sad pop song about moving on and celebrating the departed instead of letting their loss absorb you.

The band’s lead singer, Yukimi Nagano, sings about a long-distance friendship and how it was tragically cut short by the death of her friend.

It is about going through the loss of someone close and how she decides to go to Paris, where their rendezvous was supposed to happen.

She feels somewhat weird experiencing things without the person, but ultimately, she knows she has to move on, so that’s what she strives to do.

It is probably the saddest song about Paris, at least on this list, though it doesn’t sound like that if you just listen to the music without knowing the lyrics.

15. Little French Song by Carla Bruni

Released: 2013 | Genre: Pop

This song has been sung by singer turned model, Carla Bruni, who then became the French First Lady (now former).

She sings about how when everything is going wrong, singing a little French song will make things better. This is an upbeat number, so it might genuinely work in uplifting your mood.

Through the song, she takes you around Paris – Pigalle, Saint Louis Island, Tuileries, and Bastille.

She also talks about French poets, writers, and singers, even referencing Édith Piaf. She says they may not be like Elvis Presley, Ella Fitzgerald, or Louis Armstrong, but they are famous worldwide nonetheless.

16. Paris by Night by Bénabar

Released: 2014 | Genre: Pop

As the song title suggests, Bruno Nicolini, or Bénabar as he is known, talks about Paris at night .

His French chansons often have him singing about daily life events; some funny, some cynical.

In this foot-tapping song, he describes how Paris is bustling at night. People are going out for dinner to bistros and restaurants, heading for an after-work drink to bars, and making their way to clubs to dance the night away.

His friends invite him to do the same with them. And even though he is initially hesitant, he ends up going anyway and having a lovely time.

17. Paname by Slimane

Released: 2016 | Genre: Pop

The name, Paname, is a Paris nickname given to Paris and its suburbs. In this song , Slimane sings about how he wants to go to Paris with his backpack, songs, and dreams.

He dreams of taking his mother to Paris so that she can hear him sing there.

He talks about how he thinks the Parisian people are and how their way of life is. He then goes on to relate himself in those same situations. He visualizes them (him & his mother) there and how they would go on about their day.

Paname is a song about hope, and how everyone has dreams to make it big in a city they dream of tasting success in.

18. Paris by Sabrina Carpenter

Released: 2018 | Genre: Pop

In Paris , Sabrina sings about her love for the City of Love, how it is incomparable and romantic. Could we disagree? In reality, too, Sabrina has been a fan of the city and had dreamed of visiting it for years. (I mean, can you blame her?)

Those feelings of admiration and longing have reflected in the song. But in fact, she wrote this song after her trip to Paris for her show, and successively, her 18 th birthday that she spent there.

She talks about leaving town and going to Paris to find love but eventually realizes that she already has it. To add a little Parisian charm to it, she even sings the bridge in French.

19. Bienvenue Chez Moi by Bigflo & Oli

Released: 2018 | Genre: Dance Electronic

Through Bienvenue Chez Moi , Bigflo and Oli take you not just through Paris but through the entire country of France.

They talk about the beautiful cities of Bordeaux, Normandy, Marseille, and Strasbourg, among others. It’s like taking a tour de France.

Be it the French valleys, beaches , towns, or cities , you can visualize it all and picture yourself living out the lyrics.

If you ask me, this is probably one of the best songs about Paris if you want to know about France, its wonderful places, and what each of them is famous for.

Best Parisian songs

Songs about Paris in English

Let’s start with some of the best songs about Paris in English. These include many oldies, some rock songs about Paris and more!

1. Eartha Kitt – Under the Bridges of Paris (1955)

Although I placed this song in the section containing English songs about Paris, it’s a bit of an exception. Under the Bridges of Paris contains both English and French lyrics.

Nevertheless, Eartha Kitt was an American jazz singer so I think her song fits this section better than the French one.

How would you like to be Down by the Seine with me Oh what I’d give for a moment or two Under the bridges of Paris with you

2. Little Dragon – Paris (2014)

The music in this beautiful song might sound upbeat but the lyrics are actually pretty sad. It speaks about losing someone you love and then moving away to Paris in an attempt to cope with the loss.

Spirit divide Drift alone I waved her goodbye I carried on Dreams pass My black dress Folded on a big mess I’m changing my next flight to Paris

3. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong – April in Paris (1957)

This duet talks about Paris in the springtime and how beautiful it is during this time of the year. It’s one of the most famous songs about Paris by two talented American musicians.

Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom Holiday tables under the trees April in Paris, this is a feeling That no one can ever reprise

4. The Stranglers – Let’s Tango in Paris (1972)

Let’s Tango in Paris is a song from the 1970s that speaks exactly about what its title predicts: having a good time and tangoing in Paris.

You might find yourself with me Share your glass of vanity We’re away Every day Not so far for me to say I could take you there today Let’s tango in Paris.

5. Faith Hill – Paris (2005)

Faith Hill is one of the most successful American country singers. Her song Paris talks about how she would do everything for someone, but she can’t give them Paris.

Is I’d give this world to you Every rock and every stone every masterpiece in rome And if you asked me to I’d steel the mona lisa, tear it up in little pieces And lay them at your feet For all the world to see But tonight I can’t give you Paris

6. Carla Bruni – Little French Song (2013)

I have to admit that this is not my favourite song on this list, but it’s true that this little French song is uplifting.

Carla Bruni is the former first lady of France, she’s married to Nicolas Sarkozy, who was the president of France from 2007 to 2012.

Et quand on ne sait plus where to belong Try for a little french song French songs will take you to Paris, to Pigalle ou L’Île Saint-Louis French song are dancing sous la pluie, de Bastille aux Tuileries

7. Jonathan Richman – Give Paris One More Chance (1983)

If you’re looking for rock songs about Paris, then this might be the song for you! In this song, Jonathan Rinchman acknowledges that Paris is not all sunshine and rainbows, but he still wants to give the city one more chance.

Well now I’m calling it arrogant, calling it cruel (Give Paris one more chance) And also trop civilisé et mon dieu, c’est trop cool (Give Paris one more chance) But if you don’t think Paris was made for love Maybe your heart needs a telegram from up above If you don’t think Paris was made for love Well give Paris one more chance

8. Ella Fitzgerald – I love Paris (1953)

Back in the day, Ella Fitzgerald was one of the most popular jazz singers in the United States. Her song I Love Paris was first introduced in the musical Can-Can , which tells the story of showgirls in Montmartre at the end of the 19th century.

If you like Frank Sinatra, you’ll be happy to hear that there’s also a version of this song sung by him.

I love Paris in the springtime I love Paris in the fall I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles

9. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Niggas In Paris (2011)

This song was inspired by Kanye West’s travels in Paris. It won two Grammy Awards when it was released in 2011; one for the best rap song and one for the best rap performance.

What’s Gucci, my nigga? What’s Louis, my killer? What’s drugs, my dealer? What’s that jacket, Margiela? Doctors say I’m the illest ‘Cause I’m suffering from realness Got my niggas in Paris and they going gorillas, huh

10. Fred Astaire – Paris Loves Lovers (1955)

The title of this song says it all. Paris is often dubbed the city of love and that’s exactly what this song is about.

Paris loves lovers, for lovers it’s heaven above Paris tells lovers, love is supreme, wake up your dream and make love Only in Paris one discovers the urge to merge with the splurge of the spring Paris loves lovers for lovers know that love is everything

11. Elliott Smith – Place Pigalle

I hadn’t heard about Elliott Smith before writing this post, but I’ve been listening to this song on repeat ever since discovering it, and I can’t wait to listen to more of his music.

Place Pigalle is a neighbourhood in Paris, and this song speaks about falling in love while staying there on a holiday.

From the bar they walk to Place Pigalle The taxi waved down Goodnight, sleep well Now it’s just a step to the door And he wants all the more to bring her away Out of this temporary half holiday

12. Doris Day – The River Seine (1950)

Doris Day was a famous American actress and singer, you may know her from the song Que Sere Sera , which she sang in the 1956 movie The Man Who Knew Too Much . This song, however, is about Paris’ famous river, the Seine.

The Seine, when she starts on her travels, Lazily flows from her source. Slowly, her length she unravels, Twisting and turning her course.

13. Lana Del Rey – Take Me to Paris (2012)

Take Me to Paris was written for Lana Del Rey’s album Born to Die , which came out in 2011, but it was scrapped before the album was released. One year later, however, the song leaked. That might be a good thing, though, because this song will make you dream about Paris, just like the singer is doing.

Take me to Paris Let’s go there and never look back Paris (ooh), we can be crazy like that You’re such a naughty boy Why you taking that Polaroid? Put on a show you’ll enjoy Take me to Paris (Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la) (x2)

14. St. Vincent – Paris is Burning (2007)

Paris is Burning is a song on St. Vincent’s debut album Marry Me . It’s a beautiful, somewhat dark piece describing a revolt in the French capital.

We are waiting on a telegram To give us news of the fall I am sorry to report Dear Paris is burning after all

15. Florent Pagny – Chatelet Les Halles

This song by Florent Pagny, one of France’s most famous singers, was named after one of the largest underground train stations in the world; Chatelet Les Halles in Paris.

Entre gris et graffitis où s’enferme le quotidien Et des murs tellement petits qu’on entend tout des voisins Avec pour seul vis-à-vis des montagnes de parpaings Où déambule l’ennui et se traînent des destins Le samedi après-midi, prendre des souterrains Aller voir où ça vit de l’autre côté, ligne un

16. Grace Potter And The Nocturnals – Paris (Ooh La La) (2010)

To be honest, this one is not my favourite but a lot of people do like it. Therefore, this upbeat song cannot miss on a list of songs about Paris.

If I was a man I’d make my move If I was a blade I’d shave you smooth If I was a judge I’d break the law And if I was from Paris If I was from Paris I would say Oh la la la la la la la (x4)

17. Sabrina Carpenter – Paris (2018)

Paris by Sabrina Carpenter is a relatively new song about Paris. The singer wrote it with Brett McLaughlin and Jason Evigan after her first trip to Paris, which was for her 18th birthday.

It’s so romantic in Paris Won’t even try to compare it Thought I was sure that I’d find it But I already have love in LA

18. Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, And Kay Thompson – Bonjour, Paris! (1957)

This is a song from the classic Audrey Hepburn movie Funny Face . It’s about a bookworm that becomes a model and travels to Paris with a famous photographer and a magazine editor.

I’m strictly (a) tourist But I couldn’t care less. When they parlez-vous me Then I gotta confess. That’s for me: Bonjour, Paris!

Sous le Ciel de Paris may actually be the most famous song about Paris, and it’s also one of my favourites on this list. Over the years, it has been covered by many artists including Jacqueline François, Mireille Mathieu and Zaz.

Is rap more of your kind of music? Then this song might be the one for you! Booba is a popular French rapper who grew up in the suburbs of Paris.

22. Charles Trenet – Les Oiseaux De Paris (1939)

Les Oiseaux De Paris talks about someone who left Paris to go live in America, Africa and other places around the world. He misses his home town though and talks to a bird from Paris who built a nest at his hotel.

Les oiseaux de Paris Me réveillent la nuit Par leurs chants et leurs cris Ils font bien plus de bruit Qu’les autos

23. Léo Marjane – Sur les Pavés de Paris

If you like Edith Piaf’s music, you may like Léo Marjane too. Together with Piaf, Marjane was one of France’s most famous female singers in the 1940s.

This beautiful piece tells the story of bohemian artists living in the Parisian Montmartre quarter. It’s a nostalgic song by Charles Aznavour, one of France’s most famous singers.

Je vous parle d’un temps Que les moins de vingt ans Ne peuvent pas connaître Montmartre en ce temps-là Accrochait ses lilas Jusque sous nos fenêtres

25. Louise Attaque – Les Nuits Parisiennes (1997)

Louise Attaque is one of my favourite French bands! In their song Les Nuits Parisiennes, they talk about Parisian nights and how they’d like to see what nights are like in other places too.

J’vis toujours des soirées parisiennes Et j’voudrais vivre des soirées belles à Sienne Et vivre au vent, à feu, à sang M’ouvrir aux sentiments

26. Jacques Brel – Les Prénoms de Paris (1962)

Belgian singer Jacques Brel didn’t only sing about Brussels and Amsterdam but he also sang about Paris. His song Les Prénoms de Paris has been described as “a kind of romantic tourist guide about Paris”.

Le soleil qui se lève et caresse les toits Et c’est Paris le jour La Seine qui se promène et me guide du doigt Et c’est Paris toujours Et mon cœur qui s’arrête sur ton cœur qui sourit C’est Paris bonjour Ta main dans ma main qui me dit déjà oui C’est Paris l’amour

27. Joe Dassin – Champs Elysées (1969)

This cheerful song is one of the most famous and iconic French songs out there. It’s about a man who’s taking a stroll along the famous Champs-Elysées in Paris.

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées

28. Yves Montand – A Paris (1948)

A Paris is a famous song that was composed by Francis Lemarque, who was born in Paris. Lemarque composed many songs for Yves Montand after the two met in 1946.

À Paris Quand un amour fleurit Ça fait pendant des semaines Deux coeurs qui se sourient Tout ça parce qu’ils s’aiment À Paris

29. Josephine Baker – J’ai Deux Amours (1930)

In this song, Josephine Baker celebrates her two loves (which is the title of the song) as an American expat in Paris. It’s known that Baker distanced herself from the U.S.A., where she was born, after moving to the French capital.

J’ai deux amours Mon pays et Paris Par eux toujours Mon cœur est ravi Manhattan est belle Mais à quoi bon le nier C’qui m’ensorcelle, c’est Paris C’est Paris tout entier

30. Vanessa Paradis & Matthieu Chedid – La Seine (2011)

This song from Vanessa Paradis is from the French animated movie Un Monstre à Paris . There’s also an English version of the song that was recorded for the English version of the movie ( A Monster in Paris )

Je ne sais, ne sais, ne sais pas pourquoi On s’aime comme ça, la Seine et moi Je ne sais, ne sais, ne sais pas pourquoi On s’aime comme ça, la Seine et moi

31. Maurice Chevalier – Ca c’est Paris

Maurice Chevalier (you can find another of his songs on #20 of this list) was born in Paris and often sang about the city. Back in the day, he was a famous French actor and singer.

Paris… reine du monde Paris… c’est une blonde Le nez retroussé, l’air moqueur Les yeux toujours rieurs Tous ceux qui te connaissent Grisés par tes caresses S’en vont mais revienn’nt toujours Paris… à tes amours !

32. Claude Nougaro – Paris Mai (1968)

Claude Nougaro wrote his song Paris Mai after the civil unrest taking place in France in May 1968. This month was marked by demonstrations, strikes and the occupation of universities and factories. It got to a point where political leaders feared civil war or a revolution.

Nougaro lived in Paris at that time and he was profoundly touched by the events that took place.

J’aime Paris au mois de mai Quand les bourgeons renaissent Qu’une nouvelle jeunesse S’empare de la vieille cité Qui se met à rayonner

33. Édith Piaf – Les Amants de Paris (1948)

Les Amants de Paris is another beautiful song by Edith Piaf, one of the most famous French singers (you may know her from La Vie en Rose ). This song speaks about Parisian lovers.

Les amants de Paris couchent sur ma chanson. A Paris, les amants s’aiment à leur façon. Les refrains que je leur dis, C’est plus beau que les beaux jours. Ça fait des tas de printemps et le printemps fait l’amour.

34. Mireille Mathieu – Paris en Colère (1966)

This song celebrates the Resistance movement and the liberty of France. It portrays Paris as a human being who is both angry and courageous.

Paris se réveille Et il ouvre ses prisons Paris a la fièvre Il la soigne à sa façon

35. Bénabar – Paris by Night (2014)

As its name predicts, Paris by Night is a song about all the things you can do at night in the French capital. It talks about going out for dinner, going to the bar and clubbing.

Paris by night Au hasard de la nuit qui nous prend par la main et nous laisse au matin Paris by night Ce qui me réjouit c’est qu’on regrettera demain que ce dont on se souvient

36. Jacques Dutronc – Paris s’éveille (1968)

Paris s’eveille is one of the most famous French songs about Paris. In 1991, this song was even voted the best French-language single of all time!

Il est cinq heures Paris s’éveille Paris s’éveille Le café est dans les tasses Les cafés nettoient leurs glaces Et sur le boulevard Montparnasse La gare n’est plus qu’une carcasse

Best songs about Paris

20. ‘La Bohème’ – Charles Aznavour 

First recorded in 1965, this classic of the chanson genre is both a tribute to the Armenian-French singer’s upbringing in Montmartre and a lament to the changing face of his beloved neighbourhood. Aznavour’s signature song – which would become an international hit, thanks to Italian , Spanish , English and German re-recordings – is an adieu to the long-gone days of real, villagey, bohemian Montmartre. In it, he remembers a hungry yet contented childhood spent toiling away at artworks in this northern area of Paris, which has today, in parts, become a victim of its own success. Although it has nothing on the original, also check out this 9-minute rework from Chilean composer-producer Nicolas Jaar, which does a decent job of transposing Aznavour’s nostalgia and melancholy to the dance floor.

19. ‘Give Paris One More Chance’ – Jonathan Richman

‘The home of Piaf and Charles Aznavour must have done something right,’ chants legendary singer-songwriter Jonathan Richman in this typically wide-eyed ode to the City of Love and the pioneering chanteurs and chanteuses it gave us. ‘And if you doubt that Paris was made for love,’ he muses in the refrain, ‘give Paris one more chance.’ A pivotal turning point in Richman’s impressive and prolific career, 1983 album ‘Jonathan Sings!’ was the musician’s first solo outing after he effectively ditched proto-punk outfit the Modern Lovers in 1979, and this stripped-back tribute is its centrepiece. Haters will say it’s overly simple and naïve, fans will call it rock ‘n’ roll songwriting at its best.

18. ‘Paris Sous les Bombes’ – Suprême NTM

The hip-hop duo comprising JoeyStarr and Kool Shen – who some consider the godfathers of French rap – showed real signs of genius on their third album, the provocatively titled ‘Paris Sous les Bombes’ (‘bombes’ being a reference to the Aerosol cans used by the duo’s graffiti artist friends). Notorious for rubbing the authorities up the wrong way, the two rappers tackle gang life in the Seine-Saint-Denis banlieues . On the title track, they reminisce about adrenaline-fuelled nights spent spray-painting their neighbourhood walls, with plenty of shout-outs to graffiti gangs like the Funky COP and the 93 crew. Working in an ingenious sample of Eric B and Rakim’s ‘My Melody’ , renowned hip-hop producer Lucien lays down a sinister, infectious funk of a beat, while Starr and Shen fire creepy whispered rhymes over the top.

17. ‘J’ai Deux Amours’ – Josephine Baker

In what has become a pseudo-anthem for the American expat in Paris, ‘J’ai Deux Amours’ plays on Josephine Baker’s dual status as both foreigner and adopted resident of the capital. Celebrating her two cultural loves (the literal translation of the title is ‘I have two loves’), the lyrics from Géo Koger and Henri Varna may also serve – some have suggested – as a metaphor for Baker’s bisexuality, which was subject to much attention during her pre-WWII heyday. During the war, the singer/dancer/cabaret artist retrained as a counter-espionage agent, before working for the Croix-Rouge and later in intelligence for the Résistance movement. By 1945, she’d very much distanced herself from her native USA, to such an extent that she would eventually change the second verse of the refrain from ‘J’ai deux amours, mon pays et Paris’ (‘I have two loves, my country and Paris’) to ‘J’ai deux amours, mon pays, c’est Paris’ (‘I have two loves, my country is Paris’).

16. ‘Under the Bridges of Paris’ – Eartha Kitt

Vincent Cotto and Jean Rodor wrote the original ‘Sous les Ponts de Paris’ way back in 1913, but the song only really came into its own when English verses were added by lyricist Dorcas Cochran four decades later. Although recordings were subsequently taped with the likes of Dean Martin and Vera Lynn (among others), it’s Eartha Kitt’s exquisitely recorded version that really stands out. Set to a backing of accordion-mimicking orchestral flourishes and a swaying nursery-rhyme lilt, Kitt’s quirky yet soulful voice is at its most striking. Lyrically, couplets like ‘How would you like to be / down by the Seine with me’ are timeless, and have no doubt inspired countless real-life lovers to head to the quais .

15. ‘Paris is Burning’ – St. Vincent

In 2006, American musician Annie Clark was busy leading a double life as touring guitarist extraordinaire for the likes of Sufjan Stevens and the Polyphonic Spree and as mysterious solo artist under the moniker St. Vincent, making dark indie-pop out of her bedroom on rudimentary DIY software. A good six or seven years before she became the critical art-rock darling and massive crossover star she is today, debut album ‘Marry Me’ was a dark, brave and ornately composed work that contained many of the hallmarks of her later material but that was largely overlooked at the time. At its centre lies ‘Paris is Burning’, a downbeat waltz with a martial vibe and a dizzying array of guitar sounds that describes an underclass revolt in the city – perhaps in reference to the Paris Commune of 1871. The image of such a wondrous city in flames also works as a metaphor for something more relatable, like struggling to get out of a destructive relationship.

14. ‘Place Pigalle’ – Elliott Smith

Following his lengthy 1999 world tour, the late, great Elliott Smith settled down in Paris for a few months. Every so often, B-sides and ‘lost songs’ of Smith’s seem to appear out of nowhere – most likely stored away on personal four-track recorders or in mysterious record label vaults – and one of the best of these forgotten demos stems from his time spent in Paris. The 9th arrondissement square at the foot of Montmartre – the ‘Place Pigalle’ – provides the charming setting and the subject is a fleeting relationship he had with a French girl on this ‘temporary half-holiday’. Recorded just before the release of his final and most successful album ‘Figure 8’, the track is a tender, string-laden rumination on love in a foreign city.

13. ‘Paname’ – Booba

‘Je rappe so easily,’ he says in a fluid Franglais. It’s exactly the kind of self-aggrandising remark we’ve come to expect from the biggest star in contemporary French rap, who in this song imagines himself watching over the sprawling city and its western suburbs. Referred to familiarly as ‘Paname’, Paris is Booba’s dominion, and on this track he exalts the city, himself and his lifestyle, while also not forgetting to ridicule his critics. With bits of Arabic and Senegalese dropped in here and there, the profoundly dark lyrics are shot through with braggadocio, comparing his flow to a gunshot and boasting that he’s so rich you’d think he's a narco-trafficker. But it’s not just a personal display of power – the chorus, after all, contains a very explicit political message. For him, Front National leader Marine Le Pen represents the scourge-like ‘racaille’ (‘trash’ or ‘vermin’) of the French state, which is his response to a heinous comment the politician once made about immigrants.

12. ‘I Love Paris’ – Ella Fitzgerald

This straightforwardly-named songbook standard was written by famed songwriter Cole Porter in 1953 and later performed by names as diverse as Bing Crosby , Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and Frank Sinatra . But nothing tops Ella Fitzgerald’s magical take, which appears on her 1956 album ‘Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook’. The song is as simple as homages go, with Paris simply a symbol of enduring beauty: ‘I love Paris every moment / every moment of the year / I love Paris, why oh why do I love Paris / because my love is near’. Fitzgerald’s brilliantly produced session puts her impeccable phrasing and clarity of tone at the fore, while the between-verse big band passages are as sweet as they are stately.

11. ‘Free Man in Paris’ (Live) – Joni Mitchell

Though never mentioned by name, entertainment mogul David Geffen is the subject of this highlight from Mitchell’s jazzy ‘Court and Spark’ album. A friend of hers in the early 1970s, ‘free man’ Geffen was the top dog at Asylum Records at the time and he had made his thoughts and feelings about the job perfectly clear when the pair holidayed together in Paris. It was only when travelling around the French capital that he felt free from the constraints and demands of his role, as Mitchell’s trilling refrain describes: ‘I’m a free man in Paris / I felt unfettered and alive / there was nobody calling me up for favours / and no one’s future to decide’. Sung from Mitchell’s lips but from Geffen’s perspective, many consider the song to convey a strong message of empowerment for young women. The best version is this live rendition from the ‘Shadows and Light’ show, which has Jaco Pastorius doing his mesmerising jazz bass thing in the background.

10. ‘Paris’ – Little Dragon

Nobody does sad pop music quite like the Swedes, and this 2014 track from Gothenburg four-piece Little Dragon must surely be one of the saddest songs ever written – however tangentially – about the French capital. Taking the city as a hypothetical future rendezvous for a long-distance friendship that’s already been tragically cut short, lead singer Yukimi Nagano tells of how Paris was the marvellous location she and her departed friend had at last decided to meet. They never would, alas, and the song is really about feeling alone, while moving forward and leaving sadness behind: ‘It’s that time to transform / to come around, I’m changing,’ sings Nagano. It was on this song that her smooth and adaptable voice would really come in its own, both in the RnB-inflected verses and the breathy, Jane Birkin-style French interlude, in which she marvels at the vivacity of the City of Light: ‘La Suède est où je vis / Mais c’est à Paris que je me sens en vie’ (‘I live in Sweden / but Paris is where I feel alive’).

9. ‘Ménilmontant’ – Charles Trenet

If you’ve never dipped into Charles Trenet’s imposing back catalogue of nearly 1,000 songs, ‘Ménilmontant’ is one of the best places to start. Rare among his contemporaries for having written most of his own material, Trenet always drew great inspiration from Paris and this song is a poignant personal homage to the north-eastern neighbourhood. Beautifully structured, wittily delivered and packed with poetic detail, he sweetly recalls the beaux jours of his upbringing spent hopping on and off trains, at church, on the streets and enjoying live music. Arriving in 1938, a year before he was called up to serve in the French army, these nostalgic ruminations on his ‘souvenirs jamais perdus’ (‘memories never to be forgotten’) are infused with both fondness and a creeping sense of pathos.

8. ‘1901’ – Phoenix

It can be difficult to interpret the lyrics of Versailles band Phoenix. ‘1901’ – a sleeper hit from 2009’s breakthrough fourth album ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix’ – was the song that would introduce the band to a vast throng of new fans, and yet, frontman Thomas Mars’s accented sing-song English didn’t really make a whole deal of sense. Fortunately, the singer would eventually spill the beans about the song’s deeper meaning in a live session , stating that ‘1901’ was a ‘fantasy about Paris’ before and during the Belle Époque – which is when he reckons the city was at its cultural and artistic zenith. Previously unclear references to 1855 (the year of France’s first international exhibition) and a certain ‘material tower’ suddenly made much more sense. In any case, the song is an aptly bouncy tribute to the city and it would set the blueprint for Phoenix’s now-classic pop-rock sound: pristine production, tight arrangements and clean guitar lines that ring around your head for hours afterwards.

7. ‘Sous le Ciel de Paris’ – Edith Piaf

With music written by Hubert Giraud and lyrics from Jean Dréjac, ‘Sous le Ciel de Paris’ is the lead song from the little-known 1951 film of the same title. First performed by Jean Bretonnière but transformed into something altogether more powerful by Edith Piaf in 1954, the song once again pays homage to the enduring beauty and magical fairy-tale quality of the city. In this rendition, France’s famed national chanteuse applies her throaty Belleville twang to lines like ‘Sous le ciel de paris / coule un fleuve joyeux’ (‘under the sky of Paris / runs a joyous river’) with such emotion and charisma you can’t but help believe her when she claims that deep down, Parisians are ‘un peuple épris de sa vieille cité’ (‘a people enamoured with their old city’). Piaf often sang about the hilly north-eastern alleys she grew up on, and this song – although written by someone else – overflows with similar such homey descriptions of street musicians and thoughtful flâneurs . It finishes brilliantly, with the image of a rainbow glimmering up above.

6. ‘Paris 1919’ – John Cale

Back in 1973, following turns as a producer for the likes of the Stooges and Nico, a couple of iffy solo albums, and having just co-founded one of the world’s most important ever rock bands in the Velvet Underground, legendary avant-gardist John Cale put out possibly the most accessible album of his career. Met with shamefully little fanfare, ‘Paris 1919’ was the classically trained musician’s first and only foray into sweetly melodic baroque pop, packed full with luscious horns, strings and simple piano phrasings. In stark contrast to the upbeat feel of the arrangements, his playful, Dada-inspired lyrics were far from straightforward, with the whole album being described by many as a bizarre reimagining of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Kicking off side B, the astonishing title track is best read as merely impressionistic, Cale’s musings intended to evoke an atmosphere and not to be taken at face value.

5. ‘Niggas in Paris’ – Jay-Z & Kanye West

Not only did it bring the phrase ‘that shit cray’ into popular ironic parlance, it was also the tune that cemented Kanye’s reputation as ever-so-slightly ridiculous hip-hop great. Inspired by his luxurious travels in Paris (where he was trying to make his name on the fashion scene), ‘Niggas in Paris’ was recorded by West with equally massive rap pal Mr Shawn Carter at the five-star Hôtel Meurice , opposite the Tuileries gardens. Over a slow, clattering drumbeat, booming sub-bass and an icy synth line, the two rappers acknowledge the long line of African-American artists who have sought cultural acceptance in Paris (from Josephine Baker to Nina Simone), all the while looking back at childhood friends who haven’t escaped poverty. Bellows Jay-Z: ‘If you escaped what I’ve escaped / You’d be in Paris getting fucked up too / Let’s get faded, Le Meurice for like five days’. It was a strange moment when a song so bombastic, and completely unrelated to French politics, was later used in a viral video as part of François Hollande’s 2012 election bid – but it clearly worked.

4. ‘Le Poinçonneur des Lilas’ – Serge Gainsbourg

Before the days of ugly grey machines and electromagnetic tickets, every Parisian Métro train had a ticket inspector (a ‘poinçonneur’), whose lonely and repetitive job it was to stamp holes in passengers’ tickets, stuck in a dull and lightless underground limbo. In 1958, getting his career off to a typically morbid and subversive start, Serge Gainsbourg would compose and release debut single ‘Le Poinçonneur des Lilas’, which minutely describes the dark inner workings of the job. Describing the Métro as a ‘drôle de croisière’ (a ‘funny kind of cruise’) and a ‘cloaque’ (‘cesspit’), Gainsbourg’s poinçonneur explains how his daily activities are so dreary and demoralising that he even considers punching a hole in his own head. The provocative musician would later have a crack at yé-yé, funk, rock and reggae, but this song is firmly rooted in the chanson tradition, with the silly, echoing chorus of ‘J’fais des trous, des p’tits trous, encore des p’tits trous’ (‘I make holes, little holes, more little holes’) totally at odds with the bleak yet consolatory message that surrounds it. In 2010, in tribute to this brilliant, career-launching song, the ultra-modern Jardin Serge-Gainsbourg was inaugurated near the Porte des Lilas, and in 2020 a new station on the line 11 will also bear Gainsbourg’s name.

3. ‘April in Paris’ – Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

The 1930s jazz standard ‘April in Paris’ first became a hit thanks to a debut 1934 rendition by Freddy Martin , but it wasn’t until its timely revival in 1952 as the title hit for a Doris Day musical film that the song was properly welcomed into the jazz canon. During this period, the likes of Count Basie , Frank Sinatra , Charlie Parker , Billie Holiday , Thelonious Monk and Shirley Bassey would all give it a whirl, but nothing compares to this tear-jerking joint interpretation by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, which appears on influential 1956 album ‘Ella & Louis’. Accompanied by the reliable Oscar Peterson trio and Buddy Rich on drums, the pair flaunt perfectly complementary voices, Fitzgerald’s buttery vocal a flawless match for Armstrong’s gruff delivery and mellifluous trumpeting. Given its subject matter and how romantically the pair appear to perform it, it’s no surprise the song is now a staple of the Parisian jazz café.

2. ‘I’ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango)’ – Grace Jones

Describing one of the more sinister aspects of Parisian nightlife (namely, the fact that the same creepy man seemingly lurks on every shady street corner), Grace Jones’s signature hit ‘I’ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango)’ is a chilling account of the musician’s time spent partying in the city. Taken from her fantastic 1981 album ‘Nightclubbing’, the song is a pulsing reggae twist on Astor Piazzola’s Argentine tango classic ‘Libertango’ , with added lyrics written by Jones and Barry Reynolds, along with wobbly Jamaican riddims from the legendary Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. Jones’s immaculate recording is most haunting when the singer addresses this dodgy mystery man with a series of direct French questions: ‘Tu cherches quoi? À rencontrer la mort? Tu te prends pour qui? Toi aussi tu détestes la vie…’ (What are you looking for? Death? Who do you think you are? You hate life, as well…’). Now just as famous for its iconic music video and artwork by French designer Jean-Paul Goude, the song captures the ambiguous feel of Paris’s ’70s clubbing scene with a great deal of originality and flair.

1. ‘L'Accordéoniste’ – Edith Piaf

The Little Sparrow strikes again. This song – recorded a good fifteen years before ‘Sous le Ciel de Paris’ , above – was composed and proposed to Piaf in 1940 by composer Michel Emer, just as he was about to go and serve in the French army. Immediately struck by the song’s potent evocation of life in the city and Emer’s clear intention to say au revoir to all that he loves, Piaf would go on to perform the song at legendary Bobino concert hall a few days later and make it one of her first big smashes. Telling the tale of a roaming prostitute, her waltz-playing accordionist boyfriend and their apparently hopeless dreams of reuniting after the war, the song veers from happy to sad at lightning pace: at one moment Piaf declares ‘que la vie sera belle’ (‘how beautiful life will be’) on his return, at another she states fatalistically, ‘Adieux tous les beaux rêves / sa vie elle est foutue’ (‘Adieu to all the good dreams / her life is fucked’). In the end, all the poor woman can do is sing and dance and forget all that’s been said before. Looking at a video like this , the way Piaf would perform so capricious a song so effortlessly – as though a natural stream of consciousness – is really quite magical.

Queer-inclusive reality dating show 'Love Trip: Paris' breaks TV barriers on Freeform

Freeform's new "Love Trip: Paris" does what many other reality dating shows don't.

Reality TV has been criticized for its lack of diversity in race, gender expression, sexuality and body type. "Love Trip: Paris," by contrast, offers contestants a chance to find love in a structure that embraces the spectrum of gender and sexuality, featuring an inclusive cast of potential suitors, its showrunners and contestants say.

In this series, four American singles -- Josielyn Aguilera, Caroline Renner, Rose Zilla-Ba and Lacy Hartselle -- head to France to find the Parisian partner of their dreams.

The four contestants meet and date potential suitors of all genders and sexualities, choosing just a lucky few to take on dates.

"We're so used to seeing shows that are so whitewashed and heteronormative … but let's see the way the world has changed and has progressed," Hartselle, a pansexual woman -- which means she's open to being attracted to all gender identities -- told ABC News.

Each episode, there's an elimination, where some suitors may be sent packing and new suitors come in to make a connection with the show's stars.

Hartselle said she grew up in a traditional Christian household in the South and found it hard to embrace her truest self growing up as a queer woman and eventual divorcee.

Seeing queer representation and romance on television in an authentic way is something she said she wishes she could have seen on screen as a young woman.

"There was so much I did not know and so much ignorance -- and ignorance is what leads to division," she said. "I just am beaming at the thought of what we have done by just being ourselves, by bringing our very human fullness, our strengths, our weaknesses, everything to the screen. You see us all, in all of our beautiful vulnerable glory."

Aguilera, a transgender and bisexual Latina woman told ABC News she similarly grew up in a misogynistic culture. She said she hopes the stories on "Love Trip: Paris" can inspire the next generation of viewers looking for guidance on love, romance, and friendships.

"I hope that this really breaks that glass ceiling, of letting other shows like this exist," Aguilera said. "I hope this really breaks that and we get to start seeing more like LGBT people fall in love and more people of color fall in love -- more people in general just fall in love."

Renner, a nonbinary lesbian, told ABC News that showrunners reached out to her initially to explain the show's diversity goals, with which she was immediately on board. "I was like, 'Yes!' Like, I have been waiting for this moment to see something like this on television," she said.

Renner, who goes by she/they pronouns, continued, "It is so important to see every shape, size, color, sexuality, gender on television. Art reflects the world that we live in, and so, the world that we live in can't be reflected unless it shows every ounce of diversity possible and I am so proud of how diverse this show is."

Zilla-Ba, a straight woman who is Black, told ABC News that the inclusivity made her feel comfortable throughout her dating journey on the show. She said not having to worry about her safety allowed her to "let myself shine."

"As a woman of color, dating people off of apps, you don't really know if it is a safe experience for you, and as for the other girls, all being queer, it's really scary dating in the real world in that way," Zilla-Ba said.

Reality TV has also been critiqued for failing to create space for people of marginalized groups to thrive. "Love Trip: Paris" executive producer Susan House said that this was one of the showrunners' main priorities.

"We want to help these girls, we want them to find love," House said in an interview. "But we also want them to have the most true experience possible. We wanted to give them room to express themselves, talk about things in interviews, talk to each other, like we wanted to just give them a safe space to really live these journeys."

The cast members say they have already received praise about the show's diversity and its impact on viewers. They hope the world can learn that queer love is normal, and that "this is just who we are," Hartselle said.

Added Renner, "Love is love no matter what shape, size, color, gender, anything you are. We all have beating hearts. We all want to find love. Love is what makes the world go round. And we all deserve to find it."

Zilla-Ba agreed. "Not just that love is love," she said, "but you can have that fairytale type of love, no matter what kind of love it is."

Though the cast's final love matches have yet to be revealed, it's clear they were able to find loving friendships with each other.

"We really became a sisterhood and we really truly bonded so much, and it just means so much to have you girls in my life," Aguilera said, speaking to her castmates.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of both Freeform and ABC News.

Brenda Song Shares Rare Photo With Macaulay Culkin’s Goddaughter Paris Jackson

'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody' star shared a super cute birthday wish for Michael Jackson's daughter on her Instagram Story.

Brenda Song had a sweet birthday message for her partner Macaulay Culkin’s goddaughter Paris Jackson on Wednesday, April 3. The Social Network star, 36, posted a throwback photo with Paris, 26, while the two were out exploring the city that the singer was named for. She penned a kind message for Paris, as she started her next trip around the sun.

In the photo, Brenda cozied up to Paris as they stood in the doorway of a hotel. The actress sported a black coat and had a brown purse hanging from her shoulder. Paris rocked a beige top, fingerless gloves, and an extra long scarf, as she rested her head on top of Brenda’s. “Happy birthday @parisjackson,” Brenda wrote. “I miss you and our Parisian adventures. Love you so much.”

Paris is the middle child and only daughter of the iconic singer Michael Jackson . She and her older brother Prince , 27, had Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay, 43, as their godparents. The Home Alone star was a friend of Michael’s during his life.

When the popstar was the subject of sexual abuse allegations in 2020, Mack denied that Michael had acted inappropriately with him in an Esquire interview. “I never saw him do anything. And especially at this flash point in time, I’d have no reason to hold anything back,” he said. “The guy has passed on. If anything—I’m not gonna say it would be stylish or anything like that, but right now is a good time to speak up. And if I had something to speak up about, I would totally do it. But no, I never saw anything; he never did anything.”

Following the “Smooth Criminal” singer’s death in 2009, it’s clear that Macaulay has remained very close to Paris. When the former child actor received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003, his goddaughter was at the ceremony to support him, according to Parade . Besides Paris, Brenda was naturally there with their two children Dakota , 2, and Carson , 1. His Home Alone mom Catherine O’Hara was also there as was Natasha Lyonne .

Travel + Leisure / Reese Herrington

As someone who is always on the move, a versatile wardrobe is key for seamless travel. I need garments that can be worn in a variety of different ways and environments, providing functionality beyond just having a pair of pants that I just wear to the gym. That’s precisely why I love matching two-piece sets so much — particularly athleisure sets. I don't want my workout attire to be limited to just performance; I need it to provide support and comfort throughout my entire day, and, of course, have the style points to make it look like intentional, well-thought-out outfits.

Unbeknownst to most, Amazon is bursting with comfortable and affordable athleisure matching sets that are perfectly suited for busy individuals like you and me. I’ve taken the liberty to curate a list of my 10 favorite ones for travel, going to the gym, taking in the sights of a new city, and virtually anything else. Complete with a five-piece athletic set that’s just $45 and possibly the loungewear set of my dreams , these picks are easy to style and serve as hassle-free, one-and-done outfit options. What's even more exciting is that they're all under $50, so keep reading to stock up on these stellar travel outfits ahead of your next trip.

Darong Women’s Lounge Two-piece Set

Although this lounge set may have just hit Amazon's virtual shelves , it's already received high praise from shoppers for its “soft and buttery” feel and “comfortable and stretchy" fit. I’m a comfort queen, so as you can imagine, I placed an order for one as soon as I saw it drop. I can’t wait to wear it for all of my low-impact workouts (think: Pilates and walking) and to the airport. Plus, each of the pieces in this set are super versatile, which means that you can wear the T-shirt with your favorite bottoms and the super-soft pants to bed, for running errands, and beyond.

July’s Song Women’s Five-piece Athletic Set

There are plenty of excellent, top-rated choices in this round-up, but few are as good of a deal as this athletic set that comes with a sports bra, T-shirt, hoodie, leggings, and a pair of spandex shorts for a mere $45 (thanks to an on-site coupon that you need to clip before checkout). It's functional, comfortable, and grants you countless mixing-and-matching capabilities. Wear the hoodie and the leggings on the trails or the shorts and T-shirt to the hotel pool — with this set, the world is yours.

Zesica Women’s Two-piece Lounge Set

The best athleisure sets are made with materials that move with you, not against you, and this duo has exactly that with its soft and flexible polyester-spandex blend. Beyond the gym, the simple jogger pants and cropped sweater combination lends itself well to an array of environments. Available in 19 different colors, there’s a shade (or two) for everyone, but if I were you, I’d go ahead and choose one sooner than later because it's on sale for just $35 this weekend.

Glamaker Women’s Oversized Bike Shorts T-shirt Set

Considering how many pairs of spandex shorts that I have in my closet, I may as well be the president of the bike short fan club. They’re longer and more compressive than my running shorts, which means that I feel comfortable wearing them out in public, yet still short enough to keep me from overheating compared to a full-length pair of leggings. If you don’t already have a pair in your collection, consider shopping for this set that comes with a pair of bike shorts (that go just above your knee) and a breathable T-shirt that can be worn with or without them. It's the do-it-all athleisure set that doubles as a cute outfit for a laidback travel day.

ToBeInStyle Women’s Velour Tracksuit

Between its luxurious velvet feel and style that's reminiscent of the early 2000s, this velour tracksuit may just be the travel outfit of my dreams. Aside from its very obvious aesthetically pleasing look, it's “ great for traveling ," according to shoppers — especially "on planes [because the] fabric is not too heavy yet comfortable and functional.” And as an extra treat, it’ll only set you back $36.

Coofandy Men’s Sweatsuit

Amazon also has plenty of two-piece travel outfits for men as well, starting with this on-sale duo from Coofandy. Complete with a cozy zip-up hoodie and a pair of extra-soft sweatpants, it's the exact type of outfit that you want in your wardrobe if you prioritize comfort as much as I do. It's also made with a lightweight, breathable material, so although it’ll keep you warm, you can easily add or remove layers depending on the temperature of your destination or the plane cabin thermostat.

Uni Clau Men’s Short Tracksuit

If you have your eyes set on something that can accommodate the warm weather a bit more, then this short-sleeve and shorts set is for you. It's made with a cotton-spandex-polyester blend that’s equally excellent for gym sessions, long travel days, and outdoor adventures. I also audibly laughed when I read this review appreciating that its matching look is “easy to wear, coordinated for those clothing challenged, and great for travel.”

Pinksavior Women’s Workout Set

When I read that one shopper urged other customers to “run to buy this” matching workout set, I knew that I had found a winner. That same reviewer went on to gush over its comfortable and stretchy yet secure fit, adding that they’re already planning on buying it in a few more colors. So, follow their lead and add a set (or two) to your cart especially while it's on sale for $27.

Lingswallow Two-piece Shorts Lounge Set

If you really want to stretch your wardrobe, then you should add this matching shorts and tank set to your cart while it's $27 thanks to an on-site coupon). Hear me out, everyone needs a go-to pair of shorts for lounging around the house or outside in the summertime, and a racerback tank is a capsule wardrobe must that can be layered or worn as is.

Nova Active Women’s Athletic Set

One of my favorite, go-to travel outfits is a pair of comfy leggings, a well-fitted sports bra, and a relaxed hoodie. This particular set includes a majority of my airport outfit staples, and according to shoppers, it surpasses even pricier activewear options in terms of performance and comfort. Available in eight different colors — ranging from eye-catching green to neutral nudes — you really can’t beat this deal.
