Here is a 2017 song by the Canadian group "Alvvays":

I discovered this song about 2 weeks ago, and fell in love with it the first time I heard it. To the best of my knowledge, French artists don't produce anything like this.
I try to keep an open mind; but so far, two things stand out to me:
1) from what I've personally experienced, French music-- outside of Boutennat-- is nothing to write home about; its lovely, but its not *fun*
2) the French people themselves seem to reject French music
