No idea for this summer vacation?...
London
Let's start our trip from the Swinging London. What about drinking a few Camden Hells in Soho and at midnight, since Big Ben is repaired, listening to its famous tune and then imagining Peter Pan flying from the clock's needles with his friends…
London Calling – The Clash
Paris
Landing in Paris very early in the morning… 5 am: coffee is being served in cafés, the Eiffel Tower is slowly waking up.
Il est 5 heures, Paris s’éveille – Jacques Dutronc
April in Paris – Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
New York
Second stop-over across the Atlantic, a visit to the Big Apple, the city of lights with endless opportunities, a concrete jungle where dreams are made of «there's nothing you can't do».
New York avec toi - Téléphone
New York, New York – Franck Sinatra
New York - Alicia Keys
Chicago
Quick stop in the Windy City. Taking a picture of the Bean, going up the Hancock building and finishing the night listening to some Blues music in Rosa’s Lounge in the North Side.
Sweet Home Chicago – The Blues Brothers
San Francisco
Heading to the West Coast riding the Road 66. Buying a flower shirt and flared pants…Watching the Golden Gate and Alcatraz, taking a «cable car» and reach the hills with Victorian blueish houses.
San Francisco – Scott McKenzie
San Francisco – Maxime le Forestier
Rio de Janeiro
Brazil, here we are, Copacabana beaches, at the foot of the Corcovado, enjoying a glass of Caipirinha. It is winter in Rio de Janeiro, we'll have to come back again for Carnival...
La rue Madureira – Nino Ferrer
Rio de Janeiro – Gambino
Bamako
Opposite continent, different climate and heat, crocodile river aka Bamako, Mali, on a Sunday morning. Prepare your most colourful bubu, because, Sundays, in Bamako, are wedding days...
Beaux Dimanches (Dimanche à Bamako) – Amadou et Mariam
Kaboul
High up on 1800m of altitude, let's wander in the crowded streets of Kabul, Afghanistan, with luck we'll catch sight of kites in the sky...
Manhattan – Kaboul – Renaud et Axelle Red
Mumbay
Open up your umbrellas, it's monsoon in Mumbay. Multicolored saris, saffron, curry, spices of all kinds will light up your retinas and dahl, tandoori, biryani, samosas, naans will delight your taste buds.
Mumbay – Sarathy Korwar
Bombay – Michel Delpech
Bangkok
One giant step, and you find yourself in a sanctuary in Bangkok, the Great City of Angels. Take the time to make an offering to Buddha at the Wat Pho temple before going to the floating markets of Damnoen Saduak.
One Night in Bangkok – Murray Head
Tokyo
Stopover in the Land of the Rising Sun, too late for the cherry blossoms, but we will taste sushi and drink sake in the Shibuya district.
Tokyo Kiss – Arthur H
Une chaise à Tokyo – Benjamin Biolay
Amsterdam
Return to Europe via Amsterdam and its quiet canals that contrast with the noise of the large connected cities that we have just left.
Dans le port d’Amsterdam – Jacques Brel
Brussels
A short tour of the Grand’Place and then a mug of beer with mussels and fries after the visit to the Manneken-Pis.
Bruxelles je t'aime – Angèle
Bruxelles – Dick Annegarn
Bruxelles – Boulevard des Airs
Here we are back on our soil. Obviously, the trip could have been much longer, with stopovers in other cities like Birmingham, Moscow, Buenos Aires... What would be your destinations?
Share with us all the cities in the world that have been sung and that you may have visited because you liked the song?!
