"La Sorcière - Le Diable aux Corsets" has been shared to the blog from the French reading practice section of the learning library where you can find a large selection of interactive texts to help you with your reading skills.
The name of the Canadian progressive folk band Le Diable aux Corsets comes from the French expression “avoir le diable au corps” meaning to move/dance frantically (lit. to have the devil in one’s body) – the band being made up of three women (the corsets) and a man (the devil)! Listen to their 2010 song La Sorcière, and follow the chilling fairy tale of a witch searching for her lost youth… Can you sing along to La Sorcière? Come on, we dare you! 😉
