Name that tune - Céline et Julie vont en Bateau.
In the 1974 film Celine and Julie go Boating, there is a piece of music that seems very familiar but I can't place it.
There's a cabaret scene where Julie performs a song, accompanied by a piano, and while I'm not fluent in French, the lyrics seem to belong with the music, so I'm thinking it's possibly some archaic popular song. However it may be an original composition for the film, and it may simply be evocative of things I've heard before. The particular musical motif as played on the piano occurs in other places in the film as well.
Anyone?

According to credits, the film features original music by Jean-Marie Sénia, who has since composed numerous other soundtracks [e.g.] -- but the film in question has no soundtrack album in print as far as I can tell, and noplace is there even a listing of the songs.

I think the song is by Adèle Taffetas (Viva España) but I can't find any information other than a comment on a site saying it was featured in the movie.
