For over 50 years, couples swirled to the music of the accordion in the little ballrooms of the Bastille quarter commonly called the Bastoche or in the open-air dance halls on the bank of the Marne River.
This instrument was the faithful companion of all the popular street singers like Frehel, Piaf, Montant, Gréco and Brel. How come this instrument invented by an Austrian and brought to France by North Italian immigrants at the beginning of the 20th century, became the main instrument of this Parisian-born popular music? Paris Accordion tells the love story full of tenderness, nostalgia and merriness between Paname and the trill-box.
