    Yes Manu Chao is great! I wouldn't really consider it reggae though.. It's what I like to call 'sunny music', for some great (French-ish) sunny music in general I would add
    Amadou & Mariam
    Magic Système more or less
    Tryo
    and just for the hell of it: La Rue Kétanou, just plain awesome:)

    Also, some French dudes recommended me some French reggae (but it won't download for me.. but check it out anyway:))
    Dezarie
    Percubaba
    Nârâyana
    Raspigaous
    Broussaï
    Gainsbourg
    Dub Incorporation
    Mister Gang

    If anyone knows any of these bands lemme know!
