The term is most commonly used in English to refer either to the secular polyphonic French songs of late medieval music, medieval and Renaissance music or to a specific style of French pop music which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. The genre had origins in the monophony, monophonic songs of troubadours and trouvères, though the only polyphonic precedents were 16 works by Adam de la Halle and one by Jehan de Lescurel. Not until the ''ars nova'' composer Guillaume de Machaut did any composer write a significant number of polyphonic chansons.

Libido (Brigitte Fontaine Album)
In psychology, libido (; ) is a desiring energy, usually conceived of as sexual in nature, but sometimes also encompasses other forms of needs. The term was originally developed by Sigmund Freud, the pioneer of psychoanalysis. Initially referred only to specific sexual needs, he expanded the concept later to an universal desire thats great reservoir is the Id. As driving energy behind all life processes, libido became the source of the social engagement (maternal love instinct, f. e.), sexual behaviour, pursuit for nutrition, skin pleasure, knowledge and victory in all areas of self- and species preservation. Equated the libido with the ''Eros'' of Platonic philosophy, Freud further differentiated two inherent operators: the life drive and the death drive. Both aspects are working complementary to each other: While the ''death drive'', also called ''Destrudo'' or ''Thanatos'', embodies the principle of 'analytical' decomposition of complex phenomenon, the effect of ''life ...

2007 French Presidential Election
Presidential elections were held in France on 21 and 22 April 2007 to elect the successor to Jacques Chirac as president of France (and ''ex officio'' Co-Prince of Andorra) for a five-year term. As no candidate received a majority of the vote, a second round was held on 5 and 6 May 2007 between the two leading candidates, Nicolas Sarkozy and Ségolène Royal. Sarkozy was elected with 53% of the vote. Sarkozy and Royal both represented a generational change. Both main candidates were born after World War II, along with the first to have seen adulthood under the Fifth Republic, and the first not to have been in politics under Charles de Gaulle. The election result has been interpreted as an example of center squeeze, a kind of spoiler effect common to the plurality-rule family of voting rules, since Sarkozy, a conservative, and Royal, a socialist, eliminated moderate liberal François Bayrou in the first round, despite polls showing a majority of voters preferred Bayrou i ...
