Thread Name: French folk song - Sur le Pont d'Auvignon
Subject: RE: French folk song - Sur le Pont d'Auvignon
'Fraid not k l but it's best yet. Seems to be children's material only and nothing (that I find) on the background. There is a nice version of Hole in the Bucket, though, "Chère Elise." http://www.momes.net/comptines/eau/chere-elise.html

I am dead sure there was a site at Universite de Paris - much similar to the American Folklife (American Memory) stuff of the time.

I phoned the ref desk which had no link. They, sadly, reminded me that many US folklife departments have been forced to close up shop and just stick their websites in a box somewhere. Perhaps, Stephanie suggested, U Paris had to do the same.
