The village of Montaillou is a community with a population in the two figures. But, small though it is, its radio station totally rocks. While strong on classic French chansons by the likes of Edith Piaf and Georges Brassens mixed in with 60s and 70s Brit hits (Beatles, Stones...) the playlist also occasional the occasional bit of classical and traditional bullfight music. "Eclectic" is an understatement. It's rather as if whoever programs what's aired has put the station's entire CD collection in iTunes and then hit "Party Shuffle".
We listen on the radio or the internet. Not sure if it works outside France but, if you're curious, go to www.radio-montaillou.com and hit the red speaker just below "écouter." Let me know if it works.

It works just fine here in Vancouver via iTunes. Nice to have since we only spend part of the year in France and miss all things French when we are here. Rob Young
Angela, radio-montaillou.com comes in loud and clear in Moab, UT. Thanks. If you want a taste of the bizarre life in this red rock community you can also stream our local radio station www.kzmu.org. Miss ya'll. Nancy & Doug
