9. Poulenc - L’histoire de Babar, le petit éléphant
If you're looking for music steeped in Parisian flamboyance, you can't go far wrong with Francis Poulenc. His L’histoire de Babar, le petit éléphant, tells the story of - well, you guessed it, Babar the elephant, complete with wonderfully poetic French narration.
