Françoise Hardy (January 17th 1944) is a french {{Chanson}} SingerSongwriter who remains known for her work during the yé-yé years.

She instantly became famous in France for her first songs "Tous les Garçons et les Filles" and "Le Temps de l'Amour" which were released during [[TheSixties the early sixties]] and also became a model thanks to her collaboration with photographer Jean-Marie Périer. Following from that, her music acquired maturity near the end of that decade and she would hit a milestone with the creation of her own production companies at a time where she wanted to detach herself from the "Teen Pop" image which defined her early career. After winning a court case which allowed her more artistic freedom in the making of her music, Françoise came up with some of the most renowned songs in her repertoire thanks to collaborations with artists such as Michel Berger or Music/SergeGainsbourg.

Outside of music, she also has a passion for astrology and has written novels.

!!Her work provides examples of:
* BossaNova: The main genre on her album ''Music/LaQuestion''
* BreakUpSong: While she wrote many songs of that kind during her early career, she later separated with French singer-songwriter by covering the song "Puisque vous Partez en Voyage"[[note]]Since You're Travelling Away[[/note]] with him (however, they didn't divorce and remain married since).
* {{Chanson}}: The definitive sound for most of her career. More precisely, she started with a yé-yé sound and grew into Music/BobDylan-inspired FolkMusic.
* CoverVersion : She covered Music/RickyNelson "Lonesome Town" and Music/LeonardCohen's "Suzanne" on her English albums (and she would later cover it in French).
* CreatorCouple: Her first relationship with photographer Jean-Marie Périer has lead to her success as a fashion icon, but Françoise is mostly known for having been with other French singer-songwriter Jacques Dutronc. Starting their engagement in the late sixties, the tumultuous part of their relationship was an inspiration for ''Music/LaQuestion''. They've covered the song "Puisque vous Partez en Voyage"[[note]]Since You're Travelling Away[[/note]] when they separated in 1988.
