The fact that you have France Gall and Heavenly alone makes it awesome.
Mine's mix of the happiest songs in the world. Enough to make you puke. http://carlo.muxtape.com/

I was getting into 60s french pop and trying to pinpoint the exact moment of connection where twee intersected with it, and my friend Jason sent me that Heavenly cover of the France Gall song and was like, "Hey! I found the missing link!" So I am forever indebted.
I'm loading your mux up now...!

You may want to check out Margo Guryan. Not French, but was highly influential to the French Ye-Ye girls of the 60's, notably Francoise Hardy.

(Speaking of ye-ye, I am now up to "Yea Yeah." This is rocking my socks.)
Margo Guryan's story is really interesting. I'm reading about her now.

Told you it was sickeningly happy.
If you get a chance, try to find this series of compilations called Ultra Chicks. It's a great mix of Ye-Ye girls. There's also a series called Femmes de Paris that may be harder to find, though.

I am way ahead of you: I totally already stole Ultra Chicks 1-6 from the internet! I haven't been able to find Femmes de Paris, though, so finally I snapped and loaded up on tracks from the Pop a Paris series instead (thaaaanks iTunes).

Well. Actually you'll probably want it for-rilz-legal anyway, because holy god I am missing track 10? This can't be right. :/

We must've DL'd it from the same person. I just realized that I'm missing track 18 on Vol. 1.

Who knew?
There's actually someone on this site that has good taste in music.
Oh, shit. That was yours?
I've had it on my favorites since I found it.
