Charles Trenet sings four songs : the title track,"Vous êtes jolie" "il pleut" and his celebrated "Quand Notre Coeur Fait Boum" .Plus a verse from his "Je Chante " performed a Capella in the nature."Je chante" was featured in the eponymous film released the same year.Needless to say,the songs are the main reason why you would like to watch this .

'Je Chante" was a cock and bull story but it was a story."La Route Enchantée" lacks any coherence;its three parts are like three sketches ,and the line which connects them is rather tenuous.

part one: the first scene takes place in a classroom where a maths teacher gives a rough time to his students.This man is none other than Charles 's father.We also make acquaintance with his kid brother and his mother , a music teacher -not the same kind of music as Trenet-Charles (like in "Je Chante") writes songs and dreams his life away.

part 2: Charles takes to the enchanted road (check the title) and gets to a castle where a loony so called countess (Marguerite Morino) is looking for a troubadour.

part3: Charles hit the big time and is now a big star.He performs "Quand Notre Coeur Fait Boum" on stage , to his parent's great joy.

A film for Trenet's fans.The others had better choose Prévert's "Adieu Leonard" ,probably Trenet's best part in the movies.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
