Charles Trenet

Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet, known as Charles Trenet , was a French singer and songwriter. He was most famous for his recordings from the late 1930s until the mid1950s, though his career continued through the 1990s. In an era in which it was unusual for singers to write their own material, Trenet wrote prolifically and declined to record any but his own songs.

In November 2000, the Narbonne house in which Trenet was born which had becomeAvenue Charles Trenet was turned into a small museum. Visitors were able to view souvenirs from Trenets childhood and family life , as well as original drafts of the songs which had made his career.
