Re: Please recommend some French folk/acoustic music.
With French tunes i can't help you; but when i first started playing with Quebecois musicians i asked for a "starter" CD list and this is what was offered:
Charbonniers de l'enfer - Chansons a cappela (1996)
Lisa Ornstein - André Marchand - Normand Miron "Le Bruit court dans la ville (1997)
Entourloupe : Les choux pis des melons (2000)
Le Vent du Nord: Les Amants du Saint-Laurent (2005)
Genticorum - Malins plaisirs (2005)
Grey Larsen & André Marchand - The Orange Tree (1993)
Dam'déridé (2001) - Dam'deride (women's a cappela group- a rare thing in Quebec)
La Bottine Souriante - I'm not so crazy about their new stuff, but I'd highly recommend these two from the early 90s.
La Mistrine (1994)
Jusqu'aux p'tites heures (1991)
Ni Sarpe Ni Branche - Quand Ca Vient l'temps 1999
Les Frères Labri - Quand l'vent cire de côté
All of those are great and should lead you to others,
