Music: a bond that brings us together


The French people’s favourite pastime

Music accompanies the moments of our daily lives and evokes emotions.

  • 76 per cent of French people declare that it plays an important role in their lives.
  • Its role goes far beyond entertainment: 88 per cent believe it brings people together and enables people from different backgrounds to share experiences, whilst 69 per cent consider that it promotes respect and tolerance.
  • This aspect is particularly strong amongst young people. In 2026, music appears to be a central element of socialisation, self-expression and personal development for 16–24-year-olds. 73 per cent of them listen to music for at least one hour a day.
