Although not particularly a big fan of accordion music, I thoroughly enjoyed this short series, as much for the travelogue aspect as for the excellent music. It got me searching for French accordion tunes, and I stumbled on this YouTube clip of a guy called Dominique Rivière who plays absolutely beautifully and whose facial expressions are an absolute joy to watch. It might just qualify as one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen or heard!
