Michel Fugain and Le Big Bazar | Une Belle Histoire (1972)

"Une belle histoire" ("A beautiful story") is a French song written by Michel Fugain (music) and Pierre Delanoë (lyrics). Featured on the 1972 album Fugain et le Big Bazar, it was released as a single that same year, selling over 800,000 copies and topping the charts in France.

The lyrics, telling of a brief encounter between two young strangers ("they hid in a large wheat field and let the currents carry them away"), were considered risqué at the time.

Fugain initially imagined the action to take place along U.S. Route 66, but Delanoë relocated the story in France.
