Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ile de France formed in 2005 around vocalist Cécile Corbel and guitarist Guillaume de Cazenove. They work with medieval French poetry and troubadour traditions, but give it a contemporary rock edge. Their debut album was called "Il était une fois en France."
Cécile Corbel's voice carries most of their material, including the track "Français Moyen." Guillaume de Cazenove handles the guitar work with fingerpicking and percussive techniques. The rhythm section includes Xavier Bouvier on drums and Jonathan Lamarque on bass.
They're sometimes described as medieval French rock, though that label doesn't quite capture the quieter, more atmospheric side of what they do. The music has a certain haunting quality, but it's grounded in actual historical texts rather than fantasy.
