“Les Amoureux des Bancs Publics” is a composition by Georges Brassens, who is credited as its composer and was also its original performer. Brassens recorded the song in 1953, placing it among the early recordings associated with his work as a singer-songwriter.
The original version is therefore closely identified with Brassens both as writer and interpreter. His 1953 recording provides the song’s earliest documented performance context, with Brassens presenting his own composition rather than the piece first being introduced by another vocalist or ensemble.
