About Francoise Hardy
Françoise Madeleine Hardy was a French singer-songwriter. Mainly known for singing melancholic sentimental ballads, Hardy rose to prominence in the early 1960s as a leading figure of the yÊ-yÊ wave. In addition to her native French, she also sang in English, Italian and German. Her career spanned more than fifty years with over thirty studio albums released.
Hardy began a highly publicized relationship with singer Jacques Dutronc in 1967. After the birth of their only child, a son Thomas, on 16 June 1973, Hardy and Dutronc moved into in a three-story house near Parc Montsouris in the autumn of 1974. The family moved every summer to a house owned by Dutronc in Lumio on the island of Corsica. As an adult, Hardy's son Thomas Dutronc also developed a career as a musician.
Hardy and Dutronc were married on 30 March 1981 in a private ceremony. According to Hardy, they formalized their relationship for "fiscal reasons", and on the advice of Hardy's lawyer for health and safety reasons. The couple separated in 1988 due to infidelities on both parts and Dutronc's alcoholism. They never divorced and their relationship became a "special friendship". In 2016, She told Le Parisien that although Dutronc had a new partner, he did not want a divorce from Hardy.
