"Also nice are La Chifonnie and Le Grand Rouge..."

La Chiffonnie were absolutely amazing. Among the musicians were Diane Holmes-Brown (from England!), her husband Hal Colombes and two young brothers, Patrick and Serges Desaunay. La Chiffonie broke up; I think Diane and Hal parted. Hal reformed La Chiffonie, and they did a CD called Nouvelles Escales (EPM 983432). Among the tracks was a pretty stunning "Dans la Ville de Paris".

Guitarist Serges Desaunay recorded a solo LP, and accordionist Patrick Desaunay delighted the Llantrisant Folk Club crowd when he played, with vielle musician Patrick Bouffard and a bagpiper - I'm sorry, but I have forgotten his name.
