Suite française (French Suite), FP 80, is an orchestral suite for wind instruments, percussion and harpsichord (or harp ad libitum) by Francis Poulenc. It was composed in a neoclassical style in 1935 for Édouard Bourdet's la Reine Margot, and it was inspired by Claude Gervaise's dance collection Le livre de danceries. [1] [2]
